- gruez 2y agoI thought oracle licensing shenanigans only applies if you used their extension pack? If you only used the community/GPL version you should be fine.
- CoastalCoder 2y ago> I thought oracle licensing shenanigans only applies if you used their extension pack? I believe that's correct. The thing one must be cautious regarding is installing the Extension Pack without careful consideration.
- kstrauser 2y agoThat’s probably true, but the idea of using only the GPL version throughout an organization, then being asked to demonstrate to Oracle’s satisfaction that you don’t have one single extension pack anywhere, is enough to make me leery of it.
