I'm a reader here, so @all includes me. In regards to Oracle, I was delighted when they released VirtualBox under GPL and remain delighted that they pay Oracle employees to enhance it and share their work. When they write (https://www.virtualbox.org)...
*"VirtualBox is being actively developed with frequent releases and has an ever growing list of features, supported guest operating systems and platforms it runs on. VirtualBox is a community effort backed by a dedicated company: everyone is encouraged to contribute while Oracle ensures the product always meets professional quality criteria."* ...I find that a logical explanation and a mutually beneficial outcome. The name 'Oracle' on that page does not discomfort me, nor does it upset me that the remarkable and free VS-Code admits to Microsoft's parentage--I thank them for that. I feel the same way about Google staffing Go with my computer science heroes (Ken Thompson et al!), building a wonderful language, application-level operating system, rigorous spec, two compilers, and open sourcing every bit of it. I am grateful, respectful, and absolutely stunned at your vitriol in response to gifts that none of us earned. It feels base and unseemly to me. Maybe you could reconsider your posture.
