A somewhat related article that might add some insight:
Java creator James Goslin makes working at Oracle sound like a micromanaging hell!
The 'ethically challenged' bugs me though :(

After reading it, I don't really get whats going on.  Is Openoffice.org yet another project that Oracle has dropped the ball on leaving people to try and save the project via other means?

Does this mean that the funding that Sun was previously putting into the project is now gone, and it's all down to volunteers to improve libreoffice.

Of course this also could mean that there are no more people at Sun/Oracle putting stuff in open/libre office that fits their own agenda.

What is your take on this?  Anyone read anything else that might clear up what is going on?
