Oh hey, the owner of the publisher is an Ellison! What a fun fact! Megan Ellison is Larry Ellison's daughter. For those not in the know, Larry Ellison is the owner of Oracle. He and his company are profoundly interesting in the way a tornado's effect on a wooden shack full of sheep is interesting. This section of a talk from a former Oracle employee does a great job of explaining why we should not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. It's hilarious and I highly recommend checking it out.
All of this is to say that his children might be a bit like him. Children aren't doomed to be like their parents, but they certainly can be like their parents.
EDIT: that talk is only of passing relevancy, but it's really funny and I can't pass up a chance to share it with people who may not have seen it.
Remember, if it wasn't for Larry Ellison, LibreOffice wouldn't exist. I remember reading about those shenanigans while they were happening and desperately hoping a fork would appear soon. I wasn't disappointed.
