sfcrazy writes "Oracle has a love-hate relationship with open source technologies. In a whitepaper (PDF) for the Deparment of Defense, Oracle claims that TCO (total cost of ownership) goes up with the use of open source. They're essentially trying to build a case for the use of their own products within the government. 'The skill required to successfully and economically blend source code into a commercially viable product is relatively scarce. It should not be done directly at government expense.' Oracle also attacks the community-based development model, calling it more insecure than company developed products. 'Government-sponsored community development approaches to software creation lack the financial incentives of commercial companies to produce low-defect, well-documented code.'" http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Oracle+Attacks+Open+Source%3B+Says+Com munity-Developed+Code+Is+Inferior%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly% 2FH1Qerm) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F10%2F15%2F1828211%2Foracle-attacks-open-source-says-community-developed-code-is-inferior%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfa cebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/10/15/1828211/oracle-attacks-open-source-says-community-developed-code-is-inferior?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
