Bill,
Suing someone is not the real reason. It's the excuse given to one's

And it may still be true. But it gives you only half the story: IF the tools
somebody buys for his company do not allow that company to stay competitive,
market will decide. And using databases from O or I or M just eats some
money - that other companies who use the Elephant that never forgets don't
have to spend. So, in the long run, buying O or I or M can get you out of
job because of "THE MARKET" dealing with your company, which is not
effective enough anymore.
