Others already replied about Oracle, and I don't want to go OT here, just a small remark: you a wrong saying that VS Code is free. You are not paying bills directly, that's correct. But it is not quite true that you are not paying at all. It's just a different business model, first of all letting Microsoft have close connection to wide dev audience and push and advertise for own technologies, such as azure. And if next time you start imagine that something made by corp is free, just think for a while who at the end of the day pays for the party. And where these money taken from.
