"Each of the top three relational database vendorsIBM, Microsoft,
and Oraclenow offers a version of its flagship product for
download, free of charge."
Man, have the 1984 history re-writers been at it, or are people just

what's more, those were uncrippled versions. You just couldn't use them
legally in production.
