What a strange time to see Oracle as the champion of free and open instead of the greedy closed overlord.

It’s probably self-serving somehow. Getting the door slammed close in their faces rather than them doing the slamming.

Companies have been gorging themselves at the free buffet of open source software for a long time. But now the party is ending and many things that used to be free are no longer free for enterprise use.

Yes, you are right. And I proofread it and still missed it.

Oracle “look at our thousands of shitty enterprise products with no upkeep”, Oracle?
