   I would like to know if there is any non-profit GNU like project to
write a public domain UNIX/or other SQL based database system?  If there 
is not, is there an interest to write one in C or C++?
   SQL seems to be a standard.  I hear that OSF and other "standards"
committees are adopting it.  I think there is a ansi definition of SQL too.
I don't think database systems are only useful for large corporations
who can afford to spend large dollars for Oracle, Unify etc. 
I know Ingress was once academic-domain but it seems that the
university version is antiquated compared to the commercial version.
