Oracle goes after customers with 3rd party companies, if you use oracle expect calls for audits and more licenses. You download virtualbox extension at work? Thats a fee per user. Use an Oracle VM in a vmware cluster? They want paid for all cores in your environment now.
Seriously, Oracle goes after their customers like criminals. I refuse their calls at work, they really are just looking for something to make you pay.
- toyg 7y ago> Oracle goes after customers with 3rd party companies That's going to end soon - the partner ecosystem has been royally shafted by Oracle's big "cloud push", people are moving away from a vendor who simply sold them down the river; and in their Brave New Cloud World, there is no need for license resellers and auditors. Ironically, that might end up improving Oracle's reputation - they'll just be seen like Google, where everything is automated and support goes from mediocre to nonexistent.
- generatorguy 7y agoI tried to license virtualbox extensions and they told me to call back when I wanted at least 500 licenses.
