    comes to mind when I read this quote from the newsforge article...

    IBM says it is making the donation to help spur Java database development that will eventually lead more users back to the WebSphere server line. On the other hand, Cloudscape was never a big seller in the enterprise market, and IBM was faced with either releasing it to the open source community or possibly dropping it entirely from its catalog.

    IBM did not have to do this, and the product still has lots of value.
