You really need to watch the video but TL:DR is that Oracle isn't per say evil, it just chases profit like a lawnmower cuts grass.

If you get your foot cut off by the lawnmower, it isn't the lawnmowers fault as it wasn't out to get you, just out to cut grass.

The same is 'true' of Oracle wrt them chasing profit. If you stand between them and profit, that is your fault if you get hurt as you always know what Oracle is going to do in that situation.

Oracle is people. Both in some abstract legal sense and in a literal sense: its a group of people doing things.

As such they are accountable for their actions - what sort of utter stupidity is this "oh but since the word corporation is involved we don't need to hold people accountable" bullshit you are spewing?

Woa. I was just explaining the context for the above quotes, no reason to get hostile.
