This is a terrible sendoff for countless hours of work - for quality software which will now ship as an Oracle product that we (the original authors) can no longer obtain on an unrestricted basis.</p> <p>I can only maintain that the software we worked on was for the betterment of all, not for any one company&rsquo;s bottom line. This is truly a perversion of the open source spirit.</p> </blockquote>
