Dinesh,

Isn't a domineering market share a precondition for being
a gorilla ?

Yes.

If so, a 19% to 10% share advantage does not seem to
indicate a domineering status. Esp. if 60% is classified
as "others".

Any time a company has twice the market share as its largest competitor, that is a dominant share. In the case of applications technologies which is the case of Siebel's, a gorilla's market share is typically 20% to 30%.

With regard to the 60% shared by all the others, there are literally hundreds of companies dividing that 60% share.
