I am glad Oracle didn't win. It seems to me that they bought Sun just to sue Google. I'm still bitter over for how they destroyed Sun... it's a shame that they didn't have a better steward.

Sun drove themself into the ground. And at least in the Java world they have been excellent stewards. The platform is moving forward again.

Oracle is making a lot of innovation in openjdk and graalvm. They have much better engineers than if e.g Google had bought sun.

Ah yes. The company that forbids people from benchmarking their database must be a bastion of good engineering.
