Oracle must really be desperate.
- ozim 3y agoThey are not desperate, from what I recall that is their modus operandi for quite long time.
- temporallobe 3y agoYeah it seems like this communication is maybe more targeted towards non-tech businesses where they wouldn’t necessarily know if the solicitation or inquiry applies to them, since “Java” is and has been bundled with tons of desktop and server software for decades. A tech-focused company would be better-informed and possibly already using openJDK, possibly allowing then to safely ignore or respond with a polite “fuck off”.
- Semaphor 3y agoIt’s hard to tell from the article, but it sounds like these are all people who have existing licence deals with oracle for Java, and this is about getting them to pay more.
