Most informed people know how much Oracle has contributed to OSS, but also how it has tried 'monetize' other stuff
Gee, someone could think that they are a for-profit corporation, like IBM (whose DB2 is NOT open source, or Lotus Notes, also NOT open source), yet I don´t see the level of IBM hatred that I routinely see wrt ORCL.
When any corporation puts money into the development of FOSS technologies (like IBM, Oracle, and RedHat has done, I applaud them). Yet, some people always find a need to bash those, as having an evil agenda, namely *god forbid* the PROFIT word...
But like you say business as usual or "move along, nothing to see here". ;)
