Disclosure: I work for Red Hat. It was only a year ago that Oracle was attempting to argue in front of the Supreme Court of the United States that adopting any kind of preexisting API was copyright infringement, and also shouldn't fall under fair use. To hear them talking about "freedom" and "openness" only makes me chuckle at their incredible hubris. If they believed in these words they wouldn't have closed off Solaris (to everyone, including their customers), kept ZFS in licensing purgatory for their own benefit, or attempted to victimize all of FOSS in pursuit of shaking down Google for loose change. I'm not exactly thrilled with the recent series of events, but I somehow do not find Oracle's attempt at shaming very convincing.
