you will have to forgive thanatos_dem, they most likely work somewhere similar to my last job..gigantic org..you can tell them 100 times the asteroid is coming, but they ignore it until almost impact. They also have a very entitled idea of software, where in my situation we used tons of IBM software for years and were pissed off when IBM came looking for their money.. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT? our leaders even so called them thieves (funny since we were essentially stealing their software for years knowing full well it costs $$). Years later? nope not migrated away from the IBM stuff, who knew it takes tons of work when you ingrain in any tech for that long, and ya. a staff that needs training on the new direction etc etc.

I say good for oracle looking to want compensation for support. And thanks to oracle for keeping it open source.. and well..your comments on the matter actually feel clearer than some of the information put out by oracle themselves hehe..
