What happens when open source turns out to be better? Much better?

,----[ Quote ]
| The most salient point for me is that Firefox is gaining market share because 
| it is better, not because it's open source. Firefox, then, is a classic 
| example (as with Linux on the server) where it is rising because of its 
| quality, not because of its cost, code access, etc.

Open source database study has obvious results

,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, Zurek noted that the survey results tell us that the 'lack of 
| in-house knowledge' is by far the biggest inhibitor of enterprise open source 
| database adoption.  It's an area that EnterpriseDB is aiming to correct with 
| a new certification program as well as new efforts to come to further raise 
| the profile of PostgreSQL.
