Oracle University Turkey ... follow-up

I have become aware of some relevant information I thought I'd share as, unfortunately, this little drama is playing out here in c.d.i. Source: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/popup-license/xe-license.html License Rights We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs for: (a) purposes of developing, prototyping and running your applications for your own internal data processing operations; (b) you may also distribute the programs with your applications; (c) you may use the programs to provide third party demonstrations and training; and d) you may copy and distribute the programs to your licensees provided that each such licensee agrees to the terms of this Agreement. You are not permitted to use the programs for any purpose other than as permitted under this Agreement. Program documentation is either shipped with the programs, or documentation may accessed online at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation. Take a good look at item (c) under license rights. It clearly states: "you may use the programs to provide third party demonstrations and training;" It couldn't be any more clear than that. So the person posting is received some misinformation or, as seems to be the case, is concealing information relevant to why Oracle threatened to sue. So why would Oracle threaten to sue? Well it appears, and I emphasize "appears" as I don't feel comfortable that I have all of the facts ... that this person signed a non-compete with Oracle and has now decided to go into direct competition as an education provider. So the threat from Oracle is likely not related to the use of XE but rather to the violation of the non-compete and thus is about personal integrity. No value judgment from me yet ... but clearly there is more to the story than the OP stated. -- Daniel A. Morgan University of Washington damorgan@x.washington.edu (replace x with u to respond)
