How to export a DB2 database without a DB2 server

Question

I have a db2 database file, but do not have a db2 server. I would like to export this data into something else (e.g. SQL, but it doesn't really matter what), without having to setup a full db2 server (I started looking into this, but it seems very involved).

Ideally the tool would run on (Debian) Linux, but Windows/OS X is fine if necessary. An online service would be acceptable, although the db is 400MB. A free tool would obviously be preferable, but I'd consider something that wasn't free as long as it wasn't too expensive (this is a one-off task).

(In response to the comment: I downloaded Express-C, and ran dp2prereqcheck, db2setup (didn't seem to do anything), and db2_install. It's not clear how to actually run the server (googling references "db2start", but I cannot find such a file. Googling didn't find me any other setup instructions). Such instructions would be fine. There are nearly 200 files in /opt/ibm/db2/V9.5/bin/, none of which are an obvious start point, and I don't relish trying them all when none seem to offer any --help).

Perhaps you can find someone with a functioning DB instance that can export it for you.
