Re: Hey guys, check this out.

there is little, to nothing, factual about that whole article ...

"Great Bridge essentially gives away its open-source database application
at little cost..."

- thannk god I can get it completely for free, eh?

"Great Bridge executives say their licensing costs for the software..."

- someone want to tell me when they started charging licensing
costs?

"...nearly 25 years ago"

- I thought it was around '85? That's only 15 years ...

"Version 7.1, due to ship at the end of June..."

- should I pull what we've released? *raised eyebrow*

"...is the marketing and channel arm for PostgreSQL"

- they are?

I wonder, is Great Bridge going to step up and correct the *several*
mis-conceptions that have been touted in their name? There were alot of
quotes from GB in there, so I wonder ... ?
