Re: irrevelant with this group but i really need help (About bringing a suit against Oracle University Turkey)

The document is in Turkish Mr.Morgan, so i did not put it here.

Oracle University Turkey Country Manager(Gokhan Uguroglu), still insists on that Oracle does not allow Express Edition to use for educations. He says that you can use XE only for the education of third-party applications, not for directly database education.

But Mr.Townsend's statements are of course more important for me. I will tell these statement to OUT's country manager.

Today i talked to my lawyer, and he will send OUT tomorroy a warning to stop threats. My lawyer was surprised too, "you help them to sell their products by providing education, but they threaten you to stop educations, am i right?" he asked.

I wrote here what OUT has just written to me. It is not very difficult for OUT's country manager to read here and provide an answer if i am wrong. I phoned him to notify about this discussion, but he did not answer. What can i do else?

I will write here the results of or case with Oracle University Turkey.
