At the risk of opening old wounds, after what happened with Howard Rogers, I think it's a brave Oracle employee who participates in "extra-curricular" activities that involve the products of their employer. We are richer for it when it happens (thanks Pete, Vladimir), but I don't blame anyone at Oracle for their discretion.
