If you decide to use it, you should read all the terms. No idea how long ${NYSE[ORCL]} will offer this, nor whether they would grandfather existing users if and when they decided to end the free plan. -

#Oracle makes #Java JRE17 zero-price (under certain conditions) for commercial / corporate use.
I wouldn't trust ${_NYSE[ORCL]} with their own (employees') lives. I certainly wouldn't risk a business on them. -

A combination of not being allowed to use it at work and seeing what #Oracle is doing to anyone that is immersed in that ecosystem.
But back in the day, I remember experimenting with McKoi and Apache Derby as part of a Java based help desk app I was writing. -

I'm sorry, leaving any other vendor to switch to Oracle does not compute. Error! Error! -

It was originally #Hudson, at #Sun. When #Oracle bought Sun, around 2010, they sought to trademark the Hudson name, so the majority of the project renamed and moved the project out from under Oracle’s control.
Oracle eventually contributed the Hudson project, trademarks, and other “IP” to the #Eclipse Foundation, but failed to win back the community. The project was relicensed from #LGPL to Eclipse Public License, but that also failed to shift the momentum from Jenkins to Hudson. By 2016 or 2017, the Hudson project announced its demise.

I would not, as an end-user, want to be dependent on #Oracle. I'd rather go back to the days of the abacus. -

Is the #MySQL #JDBC mysql-connector-j driver very different from the #MariaDB version? I would expect that they try to stay pretty close to upstream, so that their software is easily inserted in place of #Oracle MySQL. -
N-5-O-body (n5admin)'s status on Wednesday, 27-May-2020 17:53:56 UTC N-5-O-body @xrevan86 @clacke Years ago, #InnoDB was produced by an independent company, just as #Sleepycat (BerkeleyDB ... BDB engine) was. I don't know if it was possible to use InnoDB separately from #MySQL even then. #Oracle bought Sleepycat and then Inno, and finally #Sun.
I've been using it for somewhere around 20 years (+/-2 years), having encountered it in a college course (replacing Hughes #MiniSQL). -

I am wondering whether #Oracle's #Java licensing push is going to kill the #JEE market except for inside the very largest corporations. I cannot imagine a medium sized organization that would want to risk a lawyer letter from ORCL. -

A few months back, $EMPLOYER had a big #Oracle upgrade (involving teams from several well-known vendors) that went all weekend, failed, and had to be rolled back (successfully retried on a 3-day weekend). -

One might imagine a gigantic brontosaurus taking a leisurely stroll.
However, since Oracle is involved, imagine that brontosaurus has a dozen giant cobras sticking out of it Medusa-style, waiting to bite anyone who gets close enough.
