Oracle: Bull in the FOSS China Shop

December 13, 2010 No Comments

After all the many open source missteps Oracle has made this fall, one might think the company would be at least starting to get a clue right about now.

We’ve seen the lawsuit against Google; we’ve seen the demise of OpenSolaris. There’s been the emergence of the MySQL fork known as SkySQL; there’s been the ongoing OpenOffice.org debacle, leading to the creation of LibreOffice.

More recently, we’ve seen the Apache Software Foundation’s resignation from the Java SE/EE Executive Committee and Oracle’s targeting of the Hudson project with more ownership claims.
