Has oracle ever provided a definition for what they consider to be and include in the financial as cloud revenue? Anybody seen it? And if so could you please post here

Sell to reseller with 99% of revenue is cloud. Reseller turns it around to where 99% of revenue is on-prem and 1% is cloud. Is this what you mean by cloud washing?
Svetlana Blackburn, oracle counter sued and they settled out of court. Isn’t that convenient to get it out of public view
One thing to add, if your management is asking you to do something you know you shouldn't be doing.... don't trust the manager. If the sh-- hits the fan later, they will blame you, guaranteed. It doesn't matter if you are doing it out of some kind of feeling of loyalty. They don't care.
Narcissists and psychopaths don't care about the people around them, although they can be good at faking it. They may want your loyalty, but they have no intention of returning it if anything goes wrong.
Think for yourself about everything you do or are asked to do.
There was a lawsuit a while back. Not sure how it ended, but there was an employee who was asked to put non-cloud revenue in the cloud bucket and refused to do it. She was fired and then claimed wrongful termination, I believe.
Anyway, there must have been some criteria she used to determine what was cloud and what was not. Since she was asked to blur the lines, it seems likely the next person would be asked to blur the lines..... so I guess it depends upon the integrity of the person shuffling the numbers around and how much they don't want to get fired?
Don’t forget OCM (oracle cloud machine hw that runs exadata thing-a-ma-bob).
So cloud means whatever oracle wants it to mean? How convenient
No. Lots of gray areas ... IaaS, PaaS, DBaaS, Of course SaaS.
