If it's not Cognos then it will be Oracle.

This is another concern I have about OpenMPE.
Companies like Cognos have squeezed their customers at every opportunity. I
doubt we could count the number of 3000 upgrades killed by the rediculous
software upgrade fees they, and companies like them, have tried to charge.
I expect that if OpenMPE somehow succeeds and MPE is ported to a new
platform, a new wave of migrations off of MPE will occur when the vendor
licensing fees are announced.
Comments are my own... not my employer's... etc.
