I believe enterprise customers are not going to care much unless it helps with lowering existing costs.
OTOH, Oracle as part of BSA can demand an audit so they will inflict / make up reason to also punish (i.e. licensing or pull support). The business could invoke an MSA punishment clause and win temporarily but it will cause a headache going forward (further demands from Oracle, higher costs etc.)
Either way, Oracle gets what they want.
Unless the customer already wants to ditch Oracle.
Very few companies want to business with Oracle (or IBM). Most are either stuck with either and costs of switching are too high for executive to greenlight.
