Oracle is not, has never been, and never will be a champion or leader in Open Source. Oracle has obligations they need to adhere to in the short term regarding F/LOSS licenses - though the end goal is _always_ extortion. Oracle owns some great tech, they have always had great engineers. Oracle has ALWAYS leveraged their technology to prop up their protection racket. I'm constantly astonished they haven't violated RICO enough to free that Hawaiian island Uncle Larry bought, even considering their In-Q-Tel roots.
