I haven’t really seen Oracle “getting all Oracle” with it. They changed the release schedule to match their other patch schedules (quarterly instead of monthly), and the only other thing is the extension pack needs a license, but that was never open source. Almost nobody actually needs the functionality the extension pack provides, so it has no impact on regular usage.

The extension pack is different from the guest additions, which does not need a license.
