I can understand that: they are probably members of "PartnerWorld for
Developers" or one of the other schemes[1].  So it's not expensive for
them to install DB2.

For most poor mortals (at least, those I would expect to find on this
list), I doubt that there are many prepared to pay the full licence fee
for DB2; IIRC, that's around USD 22,000, isn't it?

[1] Although I've given up my subscription to "Developer Connection"
since IBM stopped putting anything for OS/2 onto the 150+ CDs.
