I think you will find that Oracle offers free DEVELOPER copies of at least some of their products.
You still need to pay for it to actually use it in a production environment. So nothing has changed! i.e. Oracle is not Free (for production environments).

And of course, let's not forget http://www.oracle.com (Just go to downloads, register your info and try downloading ANYTHING) I PROMISE YOU, oh non believers, that you'll believe me after you read those articles, and then try downloading 9i from Oracle. You don't even have to download it, just start it and watch it go!
