That was a given. Its also important to point out that licenses will vary country by country due to differences in each country's laws. (There's also international law but lets not get in to this...) OUT (Oracle Turkey) is trying to bully the guy. Right or wrong, getting in to a legal battle will mean big bucks, regardless of the country. But hey! That's Oracle for ya. _________________________________________________________________ The best games are on Xbox 360.

That's Oracle for ya. Or it might just be the actions of a single individual without the knowledge of management. To paint an entire corporation based on what you have to work with ... one incomplete side of the story ... is remarkably premature. Has the concept of asking questions and obtaining the full story before jumping to a conclusion been completely lost? I doubt you make decisions about your databases based on such flimsy information. -- Daniel A. Morgan Puget Sound Oracle Users Group www.psoug.org
So Da Maroon, Are you saying that OUT doesn't have the authority to handle this situation? Hmmm, I don't think so. Are you saying that OUT didn't talk to their regional attorneys before sending a cease and desist letter? I don't think so. Just goes to show you why you can't trust Oracle. Even when its in writing. > Date: Mon, 31 Dec 2007 08:30:38 -0800 > From: damorgan@psoug.org > Subject: Re: Attention Mark Townsend of Oracle Corp. > To: informix-list@iiug.org > > Ian Michael Gumby wrote: > > > OUT (Oracle Turkey) is trying to bully the guy.
