This company sounds like it is working (or at least did work, hard to say how long ago it was, pre-GDPR, so a while) in a really unethical manner. If we want the market and freedom-of-association to fix this sort of problem we need to learn who to avoid, right?

The predatory bullshit in TFA is widespread, not just in Open Source.

We should grant each other herd immunity by spreading knowledge of disreputable entities, ideally with receipts. You're basically complicit in abuse if you do nothing to help others.

We're doing so with Oracle. Never knowingly do business with Oracle.

Utterly absurd. Names don't get called for fear of legal retaliation, it's that culture of fear that allows businesses to keep operating this way.
