Actually, I liked this quote: ""By making our database technology and programming language available on the GNU/Linux platform, we inherit a worldwide group of programming and testing resources that will cooperate with us, while working on their own behalf to enhance the software. Potentially, this opens a new revenue stream for Sanchez," said K.S. Bhaskar, vice president of Sanchez' Greystone Group." Basically they are looking for the community to code and test the x86 version, and they will port code and fixes to their other platforms to sell. It seems like an attempt at downsizing the development team. ;) Adam Lang Systems Engineer Rutgers Casualty Insurance Company ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Lane" <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> To: "Ned Lilly" <ned@greatbridge.com> Cc: "PostgreSQL General" <pgsql-general@postgresql.org> Sent: Monday, November 13, 2000 10:44 PM Subject: Re: [GENERAL] GT.M database open sourced > Ned Lilly <ned@greatbridge.com> writes: > > Is anybody familiar with this? > > http://news.excite.com:80/news/bw/001107/pa-sanchez > > This strikes me as some people who hope to freeload off open-source > efforts, without having actually learned anything about how the > community works.
