Yeah, Oracle trying to brand itself as "the good guy" is certainly an odd turn of events. I don't trust them, but I guess we'll see what they end up doing.

What a strange time to see Oracle as the champion of free and open instead of the greedy closed overlord.

It’s probably self-serving somehow. Getting the door slammed close in their faces rather than them doing the slamming.

“Using Java APIs is copyright infringement” Oracle? That Oracle?

Companies have been gorging themselves at the free buffet of open source software for a long time. But now the party is ending and many things that used to be free are no longer free for enterprise use.
