In Germany, it is illegal to record phone conversations without the consents of the other party.

Also, I don't think Oracle is going to sue over something like this. They really seem not to care. But they could change their mind tomorrow.

Check the other comments in the thread. People are reporting that Oracle is taking IP addresses of people who access the extensions site and if the IP address belongs to a company, they contact the company and threaten to sue.

I am sorry. In Germany, there is no such thing as a "one-party state". :-|

Thank you for pointing this out. I stand corrected.
