Verbiage is:
For those interested in databases, Debian ships with two popular database 
programs: mySQL and PostgreSQL. Of course, if your boss forces you to use 
a commercial application, Oracle, Informix, IBM DB2, SAP DB and several 
others are available for Linux. 

To be picky MySQL and Postgres are just as commercial as the others, you 
really should say if your boss forces you to use a proprietary 
application,...  But the real gripe is that SAP DB is Free (GPL) and its 
tools are Free (LGPL) and it is in process of being packaged for Debian 
even.
