"That" left some room for interpretation. I know for fact that DB2's
code is very well encapsulated w.r.t. OS APIs. I know for fact that
DB2's porting team is a lot smaller that Oracle's porting team.
If I saw Oracle source code my first call would be to an IBM IP lawyer,
my second to Mark Townsend. I sure wouldn't devulge it here.
