You're wrong. Oracle owns all the copyright and they do not have to comply with

S.





I thought a written document had to be complied with until they change
the terms. In other words, their bound by their own rules until they
change it.

But I guess I'm mistaken and corrected.

A license is a contract between you and the copyright owner. It spells out the terms under which the owner is allowing you to use the copyrighted work. It makes no sense to say that there is a contract between the owner and him self. If I own a toll bridge and charge $1 to cross it, do I have to pay a dollar to myself each time I cross it as well?
