This one was sort of expected after Oracle acquired Sun. So now we know what Oracle's true intentions are for Sun's Java technology. When I first saw this news my initial reaction was one of disgust. Then after reading quite a few articles, opinions, and various other blogs I came to the point that this was anticipated. It just took a while after the Sun acquisition.
On a related note, Oracle also is canceling OpenSolaris which was announced in the same week. So as for Oracle's open source support, we now know which way the winds are blowing with Oracle at the helm of Java. Not to mention the JDK 1.6 fiasco a last month with Eclipse which was an early warning shot. "Oracle's Java lawsuit undermines its open source credibility" has a well written perspective on these recent events.
