    they’ve been pretty good stewards of the Java open source project

    I am pretty sure Google (the company itself) would say otherwise.

    They’ve also been pretty horrible stewards of VirtualBox.

    Oracle is not friends with open source. To be honest, I trust RedHat over Oracle and that’s saying something.

      Anybody that thinks Oracle has been good stewards of the open source community, is completely whacked. They have not. I’ll trust RH over Oracle as well.

      Oh wow, I had blocked out the virtual box guest additions debacle/shake-down from my memory. It almost felt like entrapment, the way they went about it.

        Yeah we had to deal with that too, but are definitely not even using VirtualBox for anything. Seems like they gave up easy in our case.
