Lest folks not read the actual article, STH is pretty happy about this offering:
> To us, this is a big deal. This is perhaps one of the best “free” instances that one can get. Something that we really like about Oracle’s Always Free tier is that one can use it without being as worried about overages as with Amazon’s offering. AWS has a size advantage, but Oracle has a great Always Free Tier offering.
- CoastalCoder 5y agoI don't notice anything in the STH article about the license terms. (Sorry if I'm just missing it.) Given Oracle's reputation, no evaluation is complete without a thorough examination of those terms, ideally by a competent lawyer.

- hn_go_brrrrr 5y agoI bet you don't need to upgrade your account to receive nastygrams from Oracle legal, though.
- amock 5y agoI've had an account for a couple of years and I might have received a survey email once, but otherwise I have received only things like notifications about infrastructure changes and there haven't been many of those.
- westpfelia 5y agoIf you are running a business sure. But personally I just would like a beefy cloud instance to run some things off of for personal use. Kinda perfect for that.
