Noted: Steve Hahn, HEUG?s executive vice president for external relations, recently attended a conference of Oracle user groups that included a series of committees dealing with issues such as contracts, code-sharing among customers, and nondisclosure agreements. One question that came up: Is code developed under Oracle licenses the work product of Oracle or of universities? “We would like to get clarity on issues like that,” says Hahn, who doubles as assistant dean for admissions and academic services at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “In general, there is a desire on the part of users for greater flexibility, so they could make changes around licensing without renegotiating the entire package.”
