I don't think so. High-profile and high priced buyouts
of CommandPrompt and EnterpriseDB would be great for
postgresql.
It would be a strong motivation for entrepreneurs to start
postgresql companies, developers to build postgresql expertise,
VCs to invest in postgresql companies. And guys like Pervasive
would be kicking themselves for not keeping sticking with it.
