      The hell did Oracle do?

      Have you been living under a rock? Think 2010 for starters…

      Hatred of Oracle predates “cancelling” by decades. Oracle is and has always been one of, if not the most disgusting and vicious companies in tech. They kill everything they touch.

      If you need a political component, then Oracle = Larry Ellison, but Oracle hate predates and supercedes the American political slide into fascism.

      When they bought Sun, they:

      • killed Solaris, effectively
      • tried to kill zfs too
      • nearly killed mysql with licensing audits
      • became borderline evil with licensing practices
      • acted like complete assholes in court, holding up cases for years
