Could Oracle fracture open source community?

“An Oracle was a person or agency considered to be a source of
wise counsel or prophetic opinion. How can that particular
definition be applied to Oracle the company? It can’t. In fact I
would claim that Oracle, the company, is quite the opposite of
“wise” or “prophetic”.

“Why am I saying this? Unless you’ve had your head in the sand,
you probably know that Oracle is suing Google over its use of Java
in the Android operating system. Why are they doing this? If you
puff away all the smoke and mirrors, the answer is simple: To get
as much cash from Sun as they can. The problem that Oracle is
facing is that Sun made Java open source in 2006. That was because
then CEO, Johnathan Schwartz, was a big champion of open source and
wanted to increase the exposure of Java. It was a smart move. Sun
was also hoping to make a push for its Solaris operating system for
data centers…so they released an open source version of that as
well.”
