They don't have anyone to blame but themselves.

First they screw Sun and then don't bother to buy Sun's assets when given the opportunity.

Lots of third party JVM vendors are able to deliver improvements into the Java world, while staying in peace with Sun, now Oracle. Google being the exception.

Can you imagine being in a bidding war with Larry Ellison? Talk about a lose/lose...

Either he outbids you and then had the legal right to fuck with you for decades

Or he bids you up to some ungodly number, and you have to live with the fact that Larry Ellison forced you to burn billions of dollars for his personal gratification.

Either way, you just feel dirty.


They're a multi billion dollar international conglomerate not a 10 person startup. Their primary business model involves tracking everything you do and everywhere you go. They're already dirty as shit.


Apparently they saved money going to trial.
