Well, it didn't start as open source, but now under the GPL (well, dual-
licensed) is Novell's FLAIM database. I don't know of any other database
like it.
http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?flaim
The successor, x-flaim is something of a hybrid of XML and the older
FLAIM engine. Very high scalability and fast searches; it's used as the
backend data store for eDirectory, GroupWise, and iFolder (iFolder being
open sourced is why FLAIM was).
There aren't many people who understand it very thoroughly (and I'm not
one of them).
