You can download GemStone/S 64 Web Edition for free, and use it free (for commercial use, too!). Only when your database grows beyond about 2 gigs, you need to get a license, which is about $7000 a year. Nowhere near good enough. $7000 a year is the exact outrage the previous poster was talking about. And 2 gigs is not much if you consider that it has to hold all your objects and their fleas. Not to mention that it's not really free (as in freedom) until it can be found in Debian/main.
Does anyone else find it amusing that Microsoft is advertising on this site?
If anyone else presented me with this screenshot, I would think it was a GIMP-produced fake. And now I have to pick up my jaw from somewhere under my desk...
P.S. If you find it as amusing as I do, please mirror the screenshot, or kv.by admin will kill me for getting him slashdotted!
