Fleeing the oppressive Oracle to attain the safety of Microsoft seems to me like fleeing oppressive California for the safety of Stalinist Russia.
I don't think it is the more open support of Oracle they're trading for Microsoft's. I think it is the higher cost of support. A more appropriate metaphor would be that they are fleeing the high property values of oppressive California by heading to the low property values of Stalin's Siberia.
I could be wrong--I didn't RTFA.
