No one at Oracle will ever be nominated for sainthood, and that’s probably OK with them. Over the years the company has developed a bad boy image that in some cases is richly deserved, while in others it has been embellished by events. Much derives from the brash doings of founder and longtime CEO (now CTO) Larry Ellison who, from all appearances, may be a charter member of the “never explain, never complain” club. Ellison does what he does, and the outside world might not fully appreciate it but that’s fine.
