Every now and then I think my company is paranoid for having a blanket policy of never using a single thing from Oracle (even to extent of rejecting anything using BerkeleyDB, and only using OpenJDK) then I see things like this and it makes sense.
I wonder when Oracle poisoned this well (Fortune 100).
- nickpsecurity 8y agoIve been recommending that same thing for a while. Microsoft, too, if you can get away with it. It's why I won't build stuff on .NET and Java. They were already big on patent suits, BS licensing, and Business Software Alliance looking for snitches. Then, Oracle went for API's are under copyright ruling. Then, I definitely wasn't gonna touch Oracle software.
