El Reg article declared as #FakeNews
What we Need is Standardised Non-OSS Licenses
If you’ve followed the recent (fake) news, you’ve probably already heard it. Oracle is “massively ramping up audits of Java customers it claims are in breach of its licences”
After a quick check on the source (The Register), here’s a more realistic, probably more accurate version of that headline:
"Oracle is thinking about auditing 1-2 companies that massively ran the commercial Java extensions in production without paying"
There, fixed. Also:
"@timbray @AmbientLion Public Service Announcement: Don't believe everything you read in the Register.

So who's right?
(And BTW, this thread seems to be full of wannabe sysop of the Entirely Clueless But Verily Opinionated Variety, no wonder IT Ops are despised so much).
Biting the hand that feeds IT
