BTW, I suppose Postgres is a perfectly adequate replacement?
If you're starting from zero, don't have any too obscure or extreme requirements and don't have to integrate with third party tools that don't support Postgres, then absolutely.
However if you already have a large Oracle based codebase and/or have to talk to third party apps that don't support Postgres then your migration costs can quickly swamp your license costs.
