This probably means that the just bought Sleepycat and Innobase in an
attempt to scare MySQL into a lower price.

This also means that Oracle could also try to hurt PostgreSQL in a
similar way (i.e. hiring all developers).

However, since PostgreSQL developers aren't centralized, that would
leave Oracle with a problem. Anyone in the world who wanted a job at
Oracle could just hack some PostgreSQL code for a couple months :)
