Open Source getting popular

In August 2010 Jeffrey Hammond, the principal analyst at Forrester Research pronounced: "Linux has crossed the chasm to mainstream adoption." His declaration was based on the huge number of enterprises that had moved to Linux during the late-2000s recession. In a company survey completed in the third quarter of 2009, 48% of companies surveyed reported using an open source operating system.[6]  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_adoption
A big chunk of that server market is getting filled with MySql and Sqlite3 as well as a few other open source DB. What is Oracle up to?
