Ellison and Gates are cut from the same cloth — I'm posting due to the Oracle might be a "good" corporation to take over Microsoft post...
What Ellison wants...
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison envisions a future where AI revolutionizes
healthcare by detecting early-stage cancer and creating personalized mRNA
vaccine therapies tailored to individual needs.
Ellison, the co-founder of Oracle, has ties to the CIA through the
company’s origins.
Oracle’s journey began with a project known as "Project Oracle,"
partially funded to develop a database for the CIA.
The company’s name was inspired by this very contract, with "Oracle"
serving as the codename for the CIA's groundbreaking database initiative.
And NSA was involved in getting Google off the ground. Gates' father (I believe) was a CIA connected lawyer. So there really aren't any "good guys" here.

I saw that a few days ago, but I didn't bother to post it. I'm at a
point where I just don't trust any corporation whatsoever to do the
right thing.

Sure. But you have to admit, Oracle would be a good fit for taking over
any remaining Microsoft IP that is worth anything, given that Oracle seems
to derive most of its remaining revenue from leveraging its IP, anyway
(e.g. the lawsuit against Google).

Corporations "do the right thing" every day. But it generally will be The Right Thing for the corporation. What you or I think is generally irrelevant.
Unless - of course - if what the corporation wants to do is so absurd/wrong/immoral/whatever that it generates massive protests/bad press/declining stock prices/etc. Only then will a corporation change a decision.
Remember when Apple wanted to scan everyone's photos for child porn? Certainly a noble idea on paper, but in reality was a huge privacy intrusion.
After LOADS of bad press, Apple wisely backed down.

The best case scenario would be for the code to be open-sourced ...

Oracle is one of the most open-source-hostile companies around. Look at
what happened to all the open-source projects they inherited from Sun.
That’s another reason why I think it would be a good fit.
I'll admit that I'm not too familiar with Oracle's work, but I also
don't work in networking where I believe they make most of their money.
I am aware that they are producing their own, Fedora-based distribution though.
