It's not Oracle that issued the ban -- it doesn't have that authority. It's the OpenJDK Governing Board. (Of course the latter generally follows Oracle's lead.)

That Oracle's policies over its internal code base are different is irrelevant.

Fascinating coming from a company hurting so hard from their over-leveraged positions in AI.

Imagine Oracle suing themselves due to licensed use violations; can't have that!!!

They just have their panties in a bunch because that one guy on Youtube said they'd be the first domino to fall in the AIpocalypse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py23zYn1GMw

Never get high on your own supply, says the dope peddler.

great now we will have slop , just not vibed slop

Not long ago it seemed as if AI Skynet is winning the war.

Now slowly, the Empire strikes back - not just Oracle, but more and more resist the tyranny of AI skynet slop.

I am upset that these corporations drove up the RAM prices still. They need to compensate the rest of mankind for this - after all the chip market is a de-facto monopoly. They should all be sued into nothingness, then new laws must enforce healthy and fair competition, without unfair players driving up the prices willy-nilly style. Absolute AI mafia here.
