UK government to expel the Oracles
 

The UK government has decided to purge its systems of Larry Ellison’s Oracle software.

The UK Cabinet Office has reportedly asked departments and agencies to try to find ways to end their reliance on Oracle software.

Seemingly there are a large number of Oracle licences currently supported within the U.K. government and some of departments already pay for licences of their own as well as separate software versions.

The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) alone has paid $2 million per year for some two million Oracle licences, or about 200 licences per staff member.
