Provided that they received the letter and they never replied I think it 
is reasonable to state that they never considered it, because of 
corporate reasons we will never know.

Between "humans", before declining you usually investigate further and 
then provide a reason for declining. Otherwise, it looks like you are 
just ignoring (which is fine).

Corporations are just not as educated as humans, and therefore do not 
feel they should behave following the basics of mutual respect. This is 
the reason why I have decided to abandon a corporate career.

In addition, corporations are just too different from volunteer 
projects, and trying to understand a decision using a volunteer POV can 
only lead to severe frustrations.

TDF has sent a letter to Oracle, which has been ignored. It is a fact. 
We decided to send it because we felt we had to try every solution, but 
what has happened afterwards tells us that the letter has been ignored 
for unknown reasons (as I am sure that Oracle will never provide any 
further detail).
