Szerzői jogi pert indított az Oracle saját partnere ellen

Az Oracle 2020. októberében egy 30 napos határidejű felszólító levelet küldött a NECAM-nak, hogy rendezze hátralékát. Mivel erre nem került sor, az Oracle egy újabb felszólítást küldött 2021. januárjának végén.

Feltehetően a két cég ezután sem tudta rendezni a kérdést, mert az Oracle márciusban megszüntette a NECAM OPN tagságát és visszavonta Master Distribution Agreement-jét.

Oracle has repeatedly asked NECAM to resolve the audit compliance findings, but NECAM has not done so. To date, NECAM has not paid the full license and support fees NECAM owes for its distributions of Oracle software, [....] As a long-time member of the Oracle Partner Network and Oracle software licensee, NECAM has been, or should have been, aware of the existence of Oracle's copyrights in the Oracle Database and the Database Options and Packs. On information and belief, NECAM also knew it did not have the appropriate license or authorization to distribute and use the Oracle Database or the Database Options beyond the uses for which it had a license. When Oracle brought the unauthorized use to NECAM's attention, NECAM declined to procure the necessary licenses and continued to infringe Oracle's rights in its copyrighted software. NECAM is therefore a wilful infringer of Oracle's copyrights and exclusive rights and subject to treble damages.
