Xerz! :blobcathearttrans: (npub1sc5…u9cz) MySQL is currently a revenue stream for them, as is Java (Current employer pays for MySQL support, previous paid for Java). There were other smaller products they wanted to absorb into their existing enterprise range - I was personally affected by OpenSSO suddenly changing it's licensing and all documentation suddenly vanishing behind the paywall.
I think Oracle didn't anticipate the Open Source nature of all that software being a problem because they wanted the brands, and the teams who did the bulk of the dev work. They did not anticipate mass resignations, entire teams leaving to start their own company and forking their product and continuing dev under a new name 😂
So OpenSSO became OpenAM, MariaDB was born, and probably a whole bunch of others that I don't remember because they didn't affect anything I used personally.
