I actually think that it does a disservice to not go to Nazi
allegory, because if I don't use Nazi allegory when referring
to Oracle there is some critical understanding that I have
left on the table; there is an element of the story that you
can't possibly understand.
In fact, as I have said before and I emphatically believe, if
you had to explain the Nazis to somebody who had never heard
of WWII but was an Oracle customer, there's a very good chance
that you actually explain the Nazis in Oracle allegory.
So, it's like: "Really, wow, a whole country?"; "Yes, Larry
Ellison has an entire country"; "Oh my god, the humanity! The
License Audits!"; "Yeah, you should talk to Poland about it,
it was bad. Bad, it was a blitzkrieg license audit."

- PeterStuer 1y agoThe actual Nazis went with IBM though. Oracle wasn't born yet. There is a lineage argument as Java built on IBM's CORBA.
