Stop developing apps on Oracle’s JDK and move to the openjdk

Today it looks like that the jury came back in favor of Oracle the intellectual property dispute between Oracle and Google.  Which I feel will open the flood gates for more lawsuits.  I really think everyone in the open source community that does Java development should quickly abandon developing on Oracle’s Java flavor and move to the openjdk or move to an different language entirely.  Red Hat is making that move with their applications I bet to avoid patent or other intellectually property issues with Oracle.  Oracle is proving to be an anti-open source company, if I had resources, I would personally fork the openjdk, virtualbox and any other open source project that Oracle sponsors before they use them as leverage over the open source community specifically openjdk.

    Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however ,
    I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
    My site goes over a lot of the same topics as yours and I
    feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be
    interested feel free to send me an e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Superb blog by the way!

      what is your blog about. Please send me a link. I’ll consider guest authoring in the future but this blog is just mostly for whenever I have a random thought or want to post a how-to for linux (even if no one reads it is mostly for my reference)
