db4o is summarized nicely in Wikipedia as a high-performance, embeddable open source object database for Java and .NET developers. It is developed, commercially licensed and supported by db4objects, Inc. (a privately-held company based in San Mateo, California).
The full version of db4o is available under two licenses (dual license): the open source, GPL, which enables easy download, evaluation, and use in GPL compliant projects; and a commercial runtime license with indemnification from db4objects for product development companies that wish to embed db4o into their commercial, non-GPL products.
The commercial license comes with direct support from the creators with guaranteed response times in 24 hours or less.
As you would expect, the free version only provides the usual peer support via the db40 developer community discussion forums.

architect/developer cap, I find myself particularly interested in professional
tools which assist in interoperability between different platforms (IBM
mainframes and mid-range systems, the various Microsoft server platforms, Sun's
Solaris, and so on). I'm tickled pink by the the claims and counterclaims of
their devotees, the marketing antics, the froth and bubbles, and all the fun and
games played out on both the sales/marketing and the technology stages!
