Maybe you could hire promising people and let them learn those skills, especially if you want people who are "less researchy." I'm not aware of a huge pool of "Machine Vision + Deep learning" people who are trapped

I think management "teams" are a completely different beast to "regular" teams that are mostly individual contributors. I think it would only really be smart to hire a "regular" team as a unit.

Yeah. If there's an unintended license-compatibility problem, the people who'd need to fix it are Oracle's lawyers. They might have a different attitude towards Open Source than Sun, to put it mildly.
