Use to be a System Librarian and had to run Oracle DB.
Issues:
1. OpenOffice gave it to Apache Foundation and not LibreOffice
2. MySQL is abandoned by many major users but we have MariaDB
3. Java suite against Google to make API Copyright-able
4. Oracle's White Paper stating that Open Source cost more and is less reliable.
5. Oracle Linux (Just a rip off of Red Hat)
6. KSplice bought by Oracle none of us gets to use re-bootless kernel patches with that technology since it has no development after it was bought 3 years ago. EDIT (FALSER: Was going off the top of my head) It is available to people who purchase support convert to Oracle Linux and they are making updates to legacy customers (Which is good to know)) corrected bellow.
I could go on about Oracle :)
So yes a bias against Oracle's Open Source stances and activities.
Just to clarify, legacy Ksplice customers are still supported under their original contracts, Ksplice is available to new customers with Oracle Premier Support, and finally, Ksplice updates are still being provided for free for all current Ubuntu and Fedora distros.
