No but it did include the people who wrote MySQL (twice) and Postgres. It also included Linux and BSD.

No one has ever said that they really wish Oracle was open source and that they would jump at the chance to use it.

My point was he essentially used the CIA and the US government to basically steal some other company’s software and slap the Oracle badge on it.
