Consider in the case for ORACLE, not paying license fees for Oracle is
not a DBA/IT thing. I submit also that this is much more money.
If the business wishes to do otherwise, The DBA/IT should wait to find a
new job.. as they may not be able to up and quit. Turning them
offender in might be considered ethical, and lead to a new job too...
quickly.
But not paying for licenses, I do not believe can be an 'IT' call --
depending on if you consider someone like the CIO 'IT'. Point being
much more money.

And in every IT department I have ever worked in theft has been
rampant, obviously IT people tend not to call not paying license fees
for software, or accounting correctly for numbers of copies of
software installed,
...great point Niall! And I'll tell you who gets ripped off as
collateral damage: good paying customers. The fact that Oracle permits
downloads of their database to run on freely downloadable OS platforms
astounds me. If only there was a way to discern how many production
Oracle deployments are running on Linux unlicensed throughout.
