AFAIR some time ago Oracle did "bad trick" - they
>"repackaged" the software, so most of upgrade contracts
>were not applicable - customers had to buy full versions.
I thought I read recently that Oracle was laying off 3000 employees,
about 3% of their workforce. If I remembered that accurately, they must
have about 100,000 employees (worldwide, I presume). No wonder they had
to play games to increase their revenue!!
