Oracle Licensing, Audits & Lawsuits in 2022
Bob Lindquist hosts House of Brick partner Pam Fulmer of Tactical Law Group. In this podcast, the discussion is focused on Oracle’s sales behaviors going into 2022, including licensing assertions, audit practices and litigation threats:
- Is Oracle still actively auditing their customers going into 2022?
- Should customers be aggressive in defending their audits or just pay the settlement?
- Why does Oracle tell customers to move to Oracle Cloud to settle their audit – is that legal?
- How can customers make sure they properly use AWS or other clouds, especially when hosting?
- Is Java being included in Oracle core technology audits given past license changes?
