Fb-Connect! supports this decision, but for other reasons.
Embedded server in Win and Linux get too much missunderstandings.
I do have some doubts about what to call Standard or Enterprise.

I think that this move from Oracle will make them wake up to another world.
Let's wait to see how Oracle behaves when installed for any person, in a
computer without ups, and everything related, that makes our days in
suport lists.

Until now, all Oracle databases that I know about are handled in a very
controled system, normally by an expensive server.
There are some inconvenients of beeing "free". I think they can expect
an increase of his database corruption numbers...
