Oracle is dumber than a microwave safe ice cube tray. They are just trying to fear-monger.
Get over it Oracle, you bunch of crybabies.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I've long maintained that the key portions of GPL are indefensible in court, which is why the FSF has avoided going to court by settling.
A quote in the article is truly bizarre:
"Free stuff from Google does not mean free in the sense Richard Stallman ever intended it."
Which should also be modified to state:
"Free, as defined by Richard Stallman, doesn't mean what you think it means [it isn't free at all.]"
[Edit: Richard Stallman's definition of free is: What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine."

Wall Street Journal, May 27, "Facebook Wants to Help Sell Every Ad on the Web" [^]: "Quote: To date, Facebook has only showed ads across its Audience Network to Facebook users, targeted based on information the company has collected about its users’ tastes and behaviors. Now Facebook plans to collect information about all Internet users, through “like” buttons and other pieces of code present on Web pages across the Internet. It will then use the information it collects to target ads to non-Facebook users.
"Surely ... not moi !
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Good luck with that, Faceplant.
I block 100% of all Internet ads. Also, 100% of all radio, TV, telemarketer ads.
Any spam I get in the mail I use to start my wood-stove.
I pity the people who use that "service" and willingly give their private information to them.

If it comes to click the "like" buttons... surely neither moi.
The problem is, that I don't think it is even needed to click them

I just shared your message on Facebook. They know you now. They're not happy. You best sleep with one eye open 
Seriously though, I signed up for Facebook about a year ago. I never wanted it because I believed you can't "sign up for friendship" and "I really don't need to know what you harvested in Farmville."
I won't say it's the best thing I ever did, because it isn't (signing up on here did my a lot more good!), but it isn't as bad as I thought it would be.
People actually share fun stuff (besides the kittens and cats, which alone make it worth it) like new music and movie releases, political views, and funny comics. And I get invited to parties once in a while
Surely people also share a lot of rubbish (mostly pregnancies, babies, and "I'm a Disney princess! Which princess are you?"), but I just read past that and filter out the good stuff
As for privacy, "they" know all about me already. Google does, my government does, the American government probably does as well, some other websites, including CodeProject, does. Facebook might as well do too (if they didn't already).

That's OK; if you weren't blocking it, their like/share button widgets that've been blighting the web since creation already were tracking you. (And so do most of the equivalents for rival platforms.) 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

"The US Department of Labor projects that one million jobs in computing will go unfilled by 2020."
Putting aside the completely made up number, most the jobs have nothing to do with coding and many aren't very good, though could lead to something good.
