Oracle Alleges Corporate Theft by SAP on Managing Automation: "According to a report issued by The 451 Group, an independent IT analyst firm, 'If someone illegally accessed Oracle's secure site, then action needs to be taken. And it makes sense that Oracle is simply defending against a company looking to undercut a major revenue stream by offering inexpensive support,' the report notes. 'Discerning whether SAP or any non-Oracle entity 'pretexted' Oracle users and accessed its IP should be straightforward. Determining how much IP SAP might have gathered — and whether it is proprietary — may be more difficult,' the report states.
The idea that Oracle would allow its customers access to its source code, however, is farfetched, said Martin Schneider, 451 Group's senior analyst for enterprise software."
