• After many months Neal made a post, what I like most of that post is reaction on Oracle moves. I will cite Neal here:I would normally post my comments on the proposal to the lambda-dev mailing list , which ensures that any IP embedded in my comments are formally submitted to Oracle’s ownership. However, Oracle’s recent lawsuit against Google has made it clear that, even though I am a contributor to openjdk7, I do not have a license to Oracle’s patents that are necessarily infringed by the use of the openjdk7 source base. This is a very confusing position for the organizer of an open-source effort to take. Rather than continuing to contribute IP directly to the project, I’ll post my comments here and contribute them to Oracle once it is clear that I’ve been granted a license to the patents necessary to use openjdk7.
