Sad to see a Postgresql database company not make it. but it might have something to do with the Red Hat, starting to make some inroads. (but I doubt it) too soon for that to have any real effect.

These are going to contine to be tough times for GPL companies and atleast I am seeing a move away from anything free anymore.
Here is just a few of the no longer free soltuions...
DialPad
Netwhistle
DriveX
innoculate Personal Editon.
PkWare- PkZip.

Sure this doesnt so much have to do with Linux. But in general, Linux being the largest of all GPL'd apps .... It does effect things.

Hopefully with the money and power that IBM is putting in the direction of Linux... we wont see too many more of these stories about another GPL company not cutting it...

We need more companies like GreatBridge. not less.

In the beginning, there was a command prompt, and all was well.
