Are they all not doing that already? All the contracts go the the big players who then farm out the work to their off-shore "partners". Then we wonder why the local economy does not support the purchase of $30K cars.

And do I need to incur the costs when I do not have to? Just for the sake of a philosophical concept?

To have data in an open format only needs your willingness to do the storage in that manner. Nothing to do with the OS or the software you use, is it?

You can run Oracle in Linux and have the data encrypted or not and have the problem of a million records floating around when the laptop gets "stolen"/"misplaced". If that data was in "open format" how happy would you be?
