Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: LOT (Little OT): Interesting Oracle related URL's.
Hi!
I've removed all papers, You can test it ;)
I do agree that it maybe is a sort of crime, but if You have read about
Open Source, then You know their world outlook about how to get known in
the Internet world. I think this is one of the reasons many people don't
like M$ and like Linux. Ok, ok these are Your rights to ask to withdraw
these docs and I've done it.
On the other hand if somebody reads Your doc and gets more familiar with
Oracle, I think we all may benefit from that, don't You think so? And if
You and (our organization also) have enough money to buy necessary books
and materials, it doesn't mean all other world has. Oh, but this is a big
political issue and this list isn't for that.
I would like also to mention that something like "it's still illegal.
Period, end of story." leads to nothing. Such politics only lead to ever
deeper conflict in every case. All things in world isn't only white or
black. We have other colors, too.
P.S. I hadn't any direct or indirect profit from posting these papers, at least till today.
