Oracle just like Microsoft just aren't trusted by the community at large.

History tells us why. And there are good reasons:

[1] Oracle tells Open Document founders to leave the project

[2] Oracle takes over KSplice and stops providing it for free to competitors of Oracles Linux Distribution.

[3] Oracle suing to maintain the position that APIs are copyrightable.
