Off Topic: Question about OT
Authored by: IANALitj on Monday, May 14 2012 @ 09:08 PM EDT
With all due respect to PJ, I'd rather program for Oracle than lawyer for BSF.

Working for BSF in any other capacity is probably no treat, either.

Off Topic: Question about OT - My job at Oracle
Authored by: tce on Tuesday, May 15 2012 @ 12:12 AM EDT
For every line of code owned by Oracle, I have to check for API calls to Other
Peoples Code (OPC), and then write a letter to the copyright owner of that code,
asking permission to have their API call in Oracle's code.

For every API call in Oracle code without a copyright approval letter, I have
to write a letter to each customer that has received that Oracle software
product and tell them that there usage is out of compliance with copyright case
law and also tell them they need to stop using that software. But, sorry no
refunds, and could we please have this year's maintenance fee payment?
