I wonder if it's as off-topic as you think...

I wonder if there's any chance Oracle might apply this new pricing
model to x86-64 versions of Rdb ? After all, it's a _very_ captive
market that Oracle has and if they are willing to do this to Java...

Simon.

PS: As for OpenJDK, Oracle _must_ have thought of that, so I wonder
how they are going to counter that approach by large corporations ?
