Re: Oracle's shifty licensing strikes again

"But I find it interesting that Oracle ships their DB with extra-cost features turned on by default."

Of course - it's been a screw the customer model for many years now.

As an example of how crappy Oracle are, if you want to discontinue support for a product you no longer use, it has to be on a separate invoice! So if you buy multiple Oracle products together its all or nothing for support renewals!

Hence on the rare occasion I'm forced to buy something Oracle I make sure it's ordered as one product per PO / invoice.
