I am pretty sure at least some of this is not 100% true. Otherwise "Russian Gmail" would not migrate 300TB from Oracle to Postresql https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12489055

I think that’s an edge case, most businesses don’t have the scale where the investment in building a Postgresql setup like that is cheaper than just paying Oracle.

I am quite certain that Oracle being an high profile US company, and possibility of export restrictions, also played a role.
