Episode 95: Oracle Update: TikTok, Sunrise Firefighters, JEDI, & The Supreme Court

The ITAM Review Podcast

In this podcast AJ Witt, Dean Bolton & Michael Corey from LicenseFortress, & Art Beeman and Joel Muchmore from Beeman & Muchmore discuss current topics in Oracle licensing in the context of the landmark Mars vs Oracle case. We highlight best practice in transacting with Oracle: • Understanding agreements • Thinking about the exit • What it actually means when you buy and run Oracle software • Does all software licensing need specialist legal counsel? We also cover a number of wider topics relating to Oracle and “Big Tech” in general with a surprising take on the current Oracle-Walmart-TikTok deal, an update on Sunrise Firefighters action over Oracle’s cloud revenue, and the future direction of technology companies in the US.
