Oracle's Larry Ellison has acquired a reputation as a cloud computing opponent after all, he famously called the term "complete gibberish" a few years ago. Today, however, he said, "I'm no longer resisting the name. Call it what you want."In fact, Ellison made it sound like he doesn't get enough credit for starting the trend: "NetSuite was my idea. I called up Evan Goldberg and said, 'We're going to do ERP on the Internet.'" That, he said, was an early example of software-as-a-service, and Salesforce.com co-founder Marc Benioff (who has worked to tie his company's identity to the cloud) copied the idea a few months later, but "in a narrow way." (Apparently this got a smirk out of Benioff, who was in the audience.)
