Oracle plugs OpenStack into its cloud
Found on The Register on Tuesday, 24 September 2013
Oracle has adopted the open source OpenStack cloud technology for its upcoming public cloud service, but though the company has made many tweaks and advancements to the technology, it does not appear to have yet contributed code back to the community.
Though Oracle has written its own additions to OpenStack, the company does not appear to have contributed any of that code back to the wider community. In fact, Oracle as a corporate entity has made zero commits to the mammoth codebase over all of its release, according to data put together by OpenStack commit watchers Stackalytics.
Oracle has been leading the list of the worst company leeches for quite some time now and tries to turn each and everything into a cash cow without giving anything back. That's why OpenOffice was replaced by LibreOffice and MySQL will be replaced by MariaDB.
