Stories like this are the reason I tell everyone to never touch MySQL and anything related to Oracle. If you need a relational DB, look no further than PostgreSQL.

Alternatively, if arbitrary, highly-litigious vendors start probing your private business activities, politely roll them to voicemail and your spam folder.

Unless you are already under contract or other legal order to do so, you do not have to tell anyone anything regarding the nature of your business. Every piece of information you give to one of those assholes is something that will be used against you in a lawsuit. Don't make things harder on yourself.

or MariaDB. or is oracle also going after MariaDB users, since they own a good amount of its code?
