That is incorrect itself.

The difference between what Oracle is doing and what Sun did is that Oracle actually went through with the charade of a JSR for Java 7. Sun avoided it due to the Apache situation.

That is not my understanding. It has been my understanding that the OpenJDK-transition delayed Java 7 so much that it got into the "now sell Sun" legal mess.

What Oracle has done doesn't make Java more or less commercial. It exposes the fact that the JCP is a façade.

JCP made sense in the Sun world. It doesn't in the Oracle world.

Saying anything but that Oracle has taken Java back as their own commercial product to the largest possible extend, would be incorrect.
