schestowitz | > 1) I could only find information about it on the site of The Intercept. | Jun 26 23:52 |
schestowitz | > Could Oracle be hushing up the case ? | Jun 26 23:52 |
schestowitz | The Intercept = Omidyar = friend of Thiel. Look up the Oracle connections. | Jun 26 23:52 |
schestowitz | The Intercept does go hard on IBM. | Jun 26 23:52 |
schestowitz | > 2) Would you know if Oracle is using some piece of Free Software, to | Jun 26 23:52 |
schestowitz | > enable the software surveillance / facial recognition it is selling to | Jun 26 23:52 |

schestowitz | Almost all things now leverage Free software. | Jun 26 23:52 |

schestowitz | This would not be the first time. Microsoft does the same in China. | Jun 26 23:52 |
schestowitz | > 4) Do you know if Oracle was involved, at any level, in the attempt to | Jun 26 23:52 |
schestowitz | > cancel the return of Richard Stallman to the FSF's board of directors ? | Jun 26 23:52 |
schestowitz | I could not see much/any of an Oracle role. | Jun 26 23:52 |
