Because Oracle has ownership of the Java's APIs in this case? Sun really has nothing to do with any of this.

If there's any doubt about what Sun actually did back when they were independent, then Oracle is somewhat constrained by what Sun was trying to do (Open source Java), not what Oracle is trying to do (close Java while leaving only a GPL implementation open-source).
