actually, there are two non-sequiturs in your reasoning here. there are
businesses making money with free and/or open source software, so there is
no a priori reason to assume oracle wouldn't be in business if all software
were free.
and even if that did happen, it still does not follow that no-one would be
able to use a database as good as oracle's: there is no a priori reason to
assume that in a world where all software is free, there couldn't be a
high-quality database.
