"The pricing is based on total employee counts, not the number of employees using Java. ... Oracle cited an example in which a company with a total employee count of 28,000, including full-time and part-time employees and agents, consultants, and contractors, would be charged $2.268 million per year." <-- What a deal!

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If 'nuts' is code for 'greedy,' yes - yes they are.

I'm not sure they've entirely thought this through. This seems to be a plan to maximize the amount of money they suck out of companies that are migrating away from Java (or at least Whorcle's JVM); but by making the first application a company might want to run using it obscenely expensive they're making it highly unlikely that any additional companies will take their platform.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius
