When i first started there, I did, just out of habit, but when i was approached about it, I removed it without hesitation... Never did download it or install it again, but every time i downloaded the main program, within a day I'd get someone saying Oracle was coming after us again and ultimately we just stopped allowing it altogether because having to deal with Oracle's bullshit just wasn't worth it, I'd rather pay VMware than deal with Oracle's bullshit for a free product that they can't figure out their own license for
Well... Now VMware is owned by Broadcom and is apparently being dismantled from the inside so i may be looking for a third option soon (that isn't HyperV... It works fine but I've always found it hit or miss for Linux, which is like 100% of what I virtualize on my desktop)
