Actually, Oracle has a free, albeit limited version:

Per Wikipedia:

"Oracle Express Edition (Oracle XE)
An addition to the Oracle database product family (beta version
released in 2005, production version released in February 2006),
offers a free version of the Oracle RDBMS, but one limited to 4 GB of
user data and to 1 GB of RAM (SGA+PGA). XE will use no more than one
CPU and lacks an internal JVM. XE runs only released on Windows and on
Linux, not on AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and the other operating systems
available for other editions."
