We should care to be first - that is the target no more no less:

"first/best open source database" also we should be better than
proprietary databases too :)

If you target to be lower than that you can't win , yes i'm dreaming
about "world domination" ;) inspired by linux one

"Alessandro: Bruce Perens claims "world domination: 2003"; is that
realistic? In your opinion, will the concept of free software gain
polularity in the mass market? In this respect, what's your opinion
about the move of Netscape Corp.?

Linus: The "World Domination" thing is obviously always a bit
tongue-in-cheek, but I think that yes, a five-year timeframe for the
free software movement and Linux to make a major noticeable impact is
not at all unrealistic. The Netscape open source thing is one of the
first indications of this, and I think we'll see others doing similar
things."
