Isn't anyone else concerned about this travesty? If you look at Sun's portfolio of products:

Java
ZFS
Solaris
VirtualBox
OpenOffice
Glassfish
Netbeans

They are all outstanding, products that embrace openness, reliability and innovation.

Oracle has a stack of crap, with the only decent offering being a database that requires a skilled administrator to manage it.

While Sun's products reach out and enable entrepreneurs and individual developers, Oracle caters to large corporate teams with very specialized skills.

This is, in my opinion, the darkest day in the history of software.

Xerox was an investor in Apple at the time. The Apple engineers were brought in to discuss the technology with the folks at Parc who developed it. Read 'Dealers of Lightning' and you'll realize Apple came upon the technology legally and Xerox literally gave away one (among many, many others) incredible opportunity.
