Perhaps RT could rethink their strategy and provide an
interface to the open source sql databases, but charge for
access to commercial databases such as sqlserver, and
Oracle.
That way developers could cut their teeth on Rebol, it
should increase the pool of experienced Rebol developers,
and RT would still get their profits from the companies that
can afford Oracle etc, and who were the only companies that
were going to pay for it in the first place.
Sun used to seed their servers into the universities, and MS
their products into the academic institutions for the same
reasons.
