This licence is a disguised "Oracle" intellectual property.
This what Oracle has been doing for years and bring them billions in revenue.
It ensure that one way or another you'll pay $$$ to the vendor of the tech.
Most of these companies quoted above are not profitable and are trying to find a way to be profitable.
With this licence it allows them to charge $$$ and to have full control over the IP for and become the sole allowed provider for consulting / support / training and basically anything that is related to this technology.
This is proprietary software with an "unlimited trial" edition and source code hosted on Github.
