'Poisoning' is not 'getting rid of'.
'Poisoning' is taking full control and monetizing everything, making everything closed source.
GraalVM is in their eyes, going to be a money-making investment. The only extent to which it might be partly OSS is a function of how much they really had to give away.
Oracle's objective with Java is to take a huge bite out of the Enterprise and do with Java what they did with their DB.
Imagine if we all needed to talk to an Oracle sales person to make our app :)
- dragandj 7y agoYou mean like you have to be a registered Apple developer to sell your iOS app in their app store which captures 99.99% of the market? Java is, fortnately, out of Oracle’s reach unless your company is actively looking at “enterprisey” solutions, but in that case it probably makes more money from that sort of deals than it is paying to Oracle, so it’s all good...
