I'm not sure who has been coming off worse in these post-fork actions - Oracle or Sonatype (Van Zyl's company).

  I'd say Oracle: most developers are already primed to hate them, and Sonatype is mostly seen as a side-dish/complicit. They also are pretty much unknown, so I'd expect most people to forget them soon-ish. Van Zyl himself may be in a different position, personal dislike sticks a lot more.

  Oracle already had the lowest reputation possible. Sonatype had no reputation before the incident, and now they have a bad one. So I think Sonatype loses, because the way consultants like Sonatype get hired is quite different than how Oracle products get bought. Oh well, at least it's fun to be an egomaniac that destroys communities...
