"typical case of customer losing the tab on bar and complaining about paying the fee for lost-tab."
It's more the customer getting a bar tab for a huge number of drinks they could potentially have ordered but claim they didn't while the barkeep doesn't keep track but just assumes the maximum number theoretically conceivable. Oracle's approach of letting customers hang themselves then putting their feet to the fire to prove they didn't use their software the way Oracle fantasizes is seriously ruthless (though this in no way exhausts their approaches to ruthlessly piling fees on customers - I'll never deal with them ever again).
- XorNot 11y agoMy company recently had an Oracle audit, and yeah, the big concern was that the audits basically tend to find some non-compliance "but you'll be totally covered if you buy N cloud-services from us". Why anyone uses Oracle is a god damn mystery to me. Why we use Oracle even more so - we have no use nor need for it's featureset.
- gcb0 11y agoyou just described the agreement between you and the bar for when you lose the bar tab. (in those places where the customer holds the paper tab instead of leaving the credit card at the bar, that is)
