XRevan86Makes sense, Oracle forces everyone to sign their CLA to allow contributing to their upstreams, like OpenJDK or MySQL.Oct 31 23:16
XRevan86Interestingly, MariaDB allows marking a merge request as BSD-licensed as an alternative to signing their CLA.Oct 31 23:18

XRevan86though technically it means that the code that Microsoft contributes will be owned by both Microsoft and Oracle, shared ownershipOct 31 23:30

XRevan86Oracle gets 100%, Microsoft gets whatever they've committed. ~0%?Oct 31 23:31
XRevan86And even if Microsoft gets their hands in every single line of code, I'm still not sure that would mean they own it.Oct 31 23:32
