Category
It looks as though Sun Microsystems is enticing data centers with a wholesale license for their Glassfish application server and MySQL database. One flat fee for every server in the organization.
No muti-core calculations. No CALS. This is definitely going to hit Oracle/BEA the hardest. Even if a company sticks to their preferred application platform, the vendors are going to have to answer to the price value that Sun just laid down.
File this under, "Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges."
