Right, this is getting ridiculous. Oracle now doesn't consider Google and the ASF 'major players' in the java world. Or at least, their press department doesn't. It's getting to the point where I'm beginning to wonder if Larry Ellison isn't just sitting in his office thinking up new and inventive ways to troll the OSS community.

Larry Ellison thinking about how much the OSS community hates him right now
So let's recap on Oracles treatment of the community and why I think Ellison is a consumate corporate troll, it all begins with the acquisition of Sun.
- Jan 2010, Oracle announces that it has completed its acquisition of Sun Microsystems. The industry gives a collective groan at seeing Oracle absorb yet another decent company because we're all familiar with the way Oracle does business, i.e strip it, sell what isn't immediately profitable and screw everyone for as much money as they can get.
- Aug 2010, Oracle kills OpenSolaris. The developer community that had spent years working on the project and anyone using OpenSolaris (which in all fairness is probably miniscule compared to the Linux userbase) are seriously pissed off. At the same time Oracle launches a lawsuit against Google over the Dalvik java runtime in Android claiming patent infringement and is still refusing to grant a license to Project Harmony, which the ASF has been lobbying for since 2007 and in all fairness they should have received then. There is no good reason for Oracle to not grant Harmony a license other than Larry Ellison being a greedy control freak.
- Sep 2010, Oracles inflexibility and control freakery surrounding OpenOffice lead to the initial fork to LibreOffice, almost all major Linux distributions back the project and say that they'll include LibreOffice as a replacement for OpenOffice in their next major releases.
- Oct 2010, Oracle hikes up the prices on corporate MySQL packages and is still refusing to grant Harmony a license.
- Nov 2010, Oracle is risking splitting the JCP, the community and losing 2 of javas biggest OSS contributors (Google and ASF) by continuing to try to run Java development as a 'my way or the highway' model.
- Dec 2010, Oracle wins the JCP vote on its plans for the next Java release but Google and the ASF look increasingly likely to simply leave the JCP and chances are that if they do they'll take a hefty amount of developers with them. Oracle arrogantly announce this victory as having the 'overwhelming support of JCP members' and the OSS community has a collective facepalm.
And so here we are, with a Java fork looking increasingly likely and the OSS community in general getting more and more fed up. It seems that trend now is for Oracle to acquire OSS projects and for the community to immediately fork them in order to keep them open.
With all this in mind I say: Fuck Oracle and Fuck Larry Ellison.
