You're completely right on the tor thing, but I think this MySQL one is different. I don't think this would have been considered a bug if there hadn't been negative backlash- if it had gone unnoticed or if no one had created a stink about it, then I don't think Oracle would have been nearly as eager to revert the change. Claiming it was just a build bug (that rearranged, and rewrote, their copyright and licensing info) seems more like a good way to back down from a bad change than anything else.
- freehunter 13y agoI would be willing to believe that they are planning on this change and just happened to accidentally release the change too early (and therefore can legitimately call it a bug). I would doubt they would go through all of the legal and organizational red tape just to revert the change when a couple hundred customers complained. Oracle can't and wouldn't back down that quickly.
