How Can I Delete My Oracle Accounts?
The news that Oracle sued Google brought me back to what I wrote more than year ago: I don't think that Oracle will play nicely with the open source community. Unfortunately I was right.
I agree with the need of an open source Java alliance, but the need I feel now is to express my disappointment in some way that Oracle can hear. I recall an article that suggested to delete Facebook accounts due to their privacy issues, so I thought that deleting my Oracle account(s) could be a good way of being heard. For this to work, though, many people should do the same. So I ask you to consider this option.
But there is an issue with this: I tried, but I was not able to get it done. It appears that there is no way to be deleted. Furthermore, I have more than one account, since I registered on both Oracle and Sun in the past. I sent an email to the support team, but I received an automated response that explains how to unsubscribe from newsletters.
So my questions are: does anyone know how to delete my Oracle account? And do you want to do the same to protest against their attitude towards open source?

The point is to be deleted from Oracle's records, possibly having a chance to explain why. The fact that Oracle seems not to allow a full cancellation is another sign of their attitude. Even Facebook allows that.

Go to 10minutemail service, get one disposable email address. Change your email in your Oracle profile to this temporary one. Receive address change confirmation to that new address, follow its links of any; complete email address change. In 10 minutes you have no Oracle account any more :-) .
No idea,but I'd unsubscribe from Oracle newsletter.
