There are plenty of opensource rdbms. PostgreSQL and MySQL are among the more common ones.

Do you actually require open source, or are you just trying to keep costs down?

If open source, I would suggest PostgreSQL, since I believe it to be more robust than MySQL. If you are looking for lower cost alternatives to SQL Server, you might want to look at SQL Server Express, Oracle Express Edition, or DB2 Express-C.

David mentioned the main big ones out there which are deployed in a ton of environments. If this is for personal use, on a small project, you may find SQLite more suitable. I wouldn't consider it a fully-fledged replacement, but it works well for personal projects. SQLite is the most widely deployed SQL database engine overall as it is used in software like Skype, Firefox and Solaris 10.
