You’re talking the CEO of a company who sued Google on the premise that header files, a descriptor file for what commands can be used and what parameters they took, should be copyrighted?

Oh. That part I didn't know.

The CEO who poisoned the OpenOffice community so thoroughly that the fork, LibreOffice, was founded by the leaders of OpenOffice and became the de facto standard instead of the original, and it happened overnight? That guy?

Yeah, that was just the habit probably.

Bruh they're a copywrite law firm (read as patent troll) with a database and a tech company attached. Pretty much all they do is fuck other people over

with a database and a tech company attached

There are three real DBMS options for enterprise - Oracle, PGSQL, MSSQL, and Oracle is the most powerful and least problematic of them.

How is it less problematic? I've only ever worked with the other two

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Well, compare setting up replication under Oracle and PGSQL.
