Disabled to make automation (corporate installations) difficult, perhaps?

- FredFredrickson 14y agoThe only reason why anyone would defend these practices is that presumably, if the company did not monetize their software in this way, the software couldn't continue to be developed. In Oracle's case, this seems absurd. The money they make from toolbar installations couldn't possibly be very high, could it?
