This still doesn't make any sense to me. In order to use free software you need to make all your software free, is it that?

I have no sympathy for oracle or their products but I fail to see the hypocrisy here. I think oracle is pretty consistent in their position over the years.

If I give you software, and tell you to trust me - but I will not use software given because I do not trust: surely I can read something into that.

Clearly Oracle are aware of the danger that they themselves ask people to ignore.

Business is business. I wouldn't call Zuck a hypocrite for not exposing himself on TikTok.

(There may be other reasons to do so but that's not here nor there)

You are also committing the classic mistake of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison.
