C-Tree by Faircom fits the bill.  It's cheap, it's C-Source and
no strings attached on applications produced.  

It's the cheapest way to do DBMS on a Sun-cluster.  Implementing
an application in (say) Oracle would mean you have to buy the
Oracle runtime license on each workstation.  In a world where a
SLC has a street-price of $4200, the DBMS prices make no sense.
