Oracle licensing is expensive, so is Webshphere licensing. We get those
things free as a corporate partner.

So what is the point in fighting an unwinnable battle? It's not my
battle to fight anyway. 

If I were a decision-maker at the corporate level, then perhaps that
would be my fight, but my job is not to mold the direction of the
company.

My job is to keep my team of 25+ resources moving forward as quickly as
possible. To do that, we use PHP and MySQL to build prototypes of our
applications that will eventually be J2EE-compliant and run on Oracle
and Websphere.
