What are some companies that deserve to be boycotted to death?
So far my list includes Comcast, EA, and Nestle. Tell me yours, and I'll help out.

Isn't that an unwritten given by now? If not why not?
Tf is oracle?
A really shitty tech company.
Oracle hires more lawyers than they do developers then they do things like "oh? You're using this product in the cloud with the license you purchased? But you didn't purchase the cloud license"
They also buy technology and proceed to violate whatever license it has, like ZFS.
Favorite thing I ever read is that oracle has hostages not customers
I'm going to steal that
They bought zfs? Ffs
Yeah long time ago. But they never contributed their chances back to the open source project basically leaving it to languish
Well... another reason, then.
Thank-you.
Stands for One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison, not officially but I like to think it is. It's a corporation built around a database engine.
They have a well deserved terrible reputation based on their commercial practices, including but not exhaustive, shipping full fledged software with functionality locked behind paywalls, buying and demolishing established open source companies/projects, suing the shit out of their customers for license violation (see above), price gouging their customers who often have no other choice than to run their products.
The engine itself is nice and reliable but the business practices of Oracle drives a lot of companies to settle for the competition, at least, those who can afford to leave.
I envy your ignorance on this.
