What Open Source Solutions Are Oracle Users Using?

From Yahoo News:

The Independent Oracle Users Group (IOUG) has released its latest member survey on the use of open source, with the results indicating not surprisingly that acceptance remains guarded but rising.

The Apache web server proved the single most popular open source middleware component, used by 60% of respondents. It was followed by OSs such as Linux or FreeBSD at 58%; appservers such as JBoss or Tomcat at 45%; databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or EnterpriseDB at 35%; development tools such as Eclipse or NetBeans at 30%; and frameworks such as Spring at 21%. By comparison, only 9% indicated that they didn't use open software at this time.
