“Oracle’s chief security officer is tired of customers performing their own security tests on Oracle software, and she’s not going to take it anymore. That was the message of a post she made to her corporate blog on August 10—a post that has since been taken down. Perhaps thinking that all the security researchers in the world were busy recovering from Black Hat and DEF CON and would be somehow more pliant to her earnest message, Mary Ann Davidson wrote a stern message to customers entitled ‘No, You Really Can’t‘. Davidson scolded customers who performed their own security analyses of code, calling it reverse engineering and a violation of Oracle’s software licensing.”
