And what would you like for JDBC?  Every company that has someone involved
in maintaining it?  I know Dave Cramer is a big one, but there are others
involved in JDBC as well, who are most likely doing it for 'corporate

Basically, we aren't looking at listing 'software packages', I didn't
think, we are looking at listing 'corporate sponsorship' ...
