META Group Report: The End of Database Licensing?

In this report, the META Group says that as the competition for open source heats up, it is the support (e.g., technical, implementation, ISV) that will decide how soon adoption takes place and show will win. MySQL Network is an innovative support offering that threatens traditional commercial software licensing models. MySQL Network is an offering that should increase the velocity of MySQL within the enterprise market and mark the "beginning of the end" for software licensing fees as a separately charged line item.

The business impact of this is that software as a service is evolving to impact the entire licensing and pricing model for enterprise software. Over time, this shift will lower software per-unit costs, improve customer support, and enable lower total cost of ownership.
