According to a recent Gartner study, Oracle has 48% market share (in other
words they are the market leader by a margin of 26%).

I am pretty convinced Oracle wouldn't open source their database code. The
competition would tear them apart by "reinventing" the Oracle Database. If
you want open source Oracle code then download BDB or InnoDB ;), I think
that is as close as it gets.
