I don't understand that either, but great to see progress.

Can you explain further why you are suggesting that the oracle packages
be deleted?  Oracle's license grant is non-Free, but after reading it
quickly, we have lots of licenses with restrictive conditions in pkgsrc,
and we don't remove them because somebody might not like them.  The big
issue with this license is that it's for personal or internal business
use only.  Other licenses have "no commercial use".
