I don't believe this was corporate greed. WHether we like it or not, anything we put out on our own time needs to go through all sorts of hoops and jumps with Legal, because when we get something wrong, as an Oracle employee Oracle can get sued for this. This can be particularly dangerous in the backup/recovery area because one piece of wrong advice can lead to a corrupted database.

Now I;m not saying that anything Howard had on his site was wrong. I hadn't looked at everything on the site so I can't make that comment. But our Legal guys (as with any Legal guys) don't take any chances (plus they wouldn't know a technical error if it leapt up and hit them over the head with a piece of 4x2!)

I had to go through similar hoops and jumps to get the right to publish my 8i Architecture and Administration exam cram book. I didn't like it much then, I don't like it much in Howard's case, but I can understand their viewpoint. It's unfortunate, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Of course, we could always leave Oracle and then not have this concern ... ;)
