As someone who works in a services company who deals with a large number of Oracle sites, I know. Having discussed the matter with a number of members of the AUSOUG, I got the same feedback from them. Don't ask me for concrete names and cases, though: the company is not mine and I don't have the authority to disclose that information. And no: I do NOT provide support to old versions.

Yup. Quite popular with anyone who can't afford to have a dedicated development team. Synonym for: the vast majority of potential clients out there. They are also the ones likely to run free-ware apps at some future stage. Does anyone seriously believe they want to even *know* how to spell "source"?
