No doubt, the link you have provided has some merit and explains a lot about the Oracle's side of coin. But after reading a lot about this story from all different angles, my final impression is that no organization is all too saintly or 100% honest, and neither are any altogether guilty. In fact, the thing about organizations is that they are multi-faced and do a lot of complex things and its just impossible to keep track of all those details.
Considering all this, I feel that the only important thing in technology is that concentration of power shouldn't be in the hands of one/few tech companies, be it Oracle or Google. Rather, there should be checks and balances everywhere. Ideally, all software should be produced by communities where all coders are chosen strictly on merit every commit passes through the scrutiny of all members.
