Correct. Anything that had some kind of open source license (particularly for acquired products in spaces where Oracle had little actual experience) required justification for why the license had to be that way to maximize the business value to Oracle. Not a single penny could leak from the purse, even on speculation that it would generate good will and lead to a better market position etc.
It was solely about the money, and it felt like we were reminded of this every single day. This was in product management, so that probably had something to do with it.
