However, if you spend enough time in implementing, creating, and supporting some functionality that you would otherwise gain in the paid solution (password syncing?), have you really "saved" any money? It's not a knock against "free" software... I use MySQL here and have used it for other personal applications as well... Sometimes "free" isn't always the best solution...
