Oracle consultant here.
There's nothing more disheartening then digging into an issue on a new site and realizing someone checked (or didn't uncheck) a box during install years ago and the system is not complying with its licensing.
The licence fees for small features you might not even know your using can be pretty brutal.
- tabtab 8y agoReminds of those "free" software install dialogs that did everything they could to trick you into installing extra spam-ware using double negatives: "Do you not want to skip installing the Great Deals browser tool-bar?" Microsoft got into similar hot water tricking people into installing Windows 10 via confusing dialog boxes.
- sombremesa 8y agoI won't not never uncheck a box that isn't unlike that one.
- majewsky 8y agoI think what you were meaning to say is that you won't never not uncheck said boxes.
- einrealist 8y agoWhy not have licenses as code / configuration? this would probably be safer for all parties. Unless, of course, companies like Oracle want the user make these tiny but espensive mistakes?
