   Linux, Apache and PHP are succesful because there is a strong developer   
   and user community. Ingres doesn't have this, and making something   
   OpenSource doesn't cause this community to automatically build.   
      
   Linux in particular benefited from the focus companies like Oracle, IBM   
   and others placed on it. The same level of focus is unlikely to happen   
   for Ingres.
