Java, anyone?

As I recall, Sun placed Java in the public domain before Oracle bought the company, yet Oracle has been trying to stuff that genie back into the lamp ever since, to the point of telling users during this last Java update to be prepared in the future to pay Oracle for its use, so Oracle's people are in no position to criticize anyone.
