IBM to make DB2 open source

Ran into this post ...

IBM's UK director says:

Looking at IBM's heritage in contributing to the open-source market, we've been particularly keen to lead that market. Open source is an interesting space, as a whole. As the future unfolds, and the economics become clearer, there's going to be more commitment to open source by everybody...


It's so much relief to see a DB that is being widely used being (going to be?) made open-source.

Apache Derby is giving me lot of pains ...
