Title: I&#x27;ve recently started a project using Java. From a technical perspective and after careful analysis of alternative technologies, for what I am doing it currently is the right choice.<p>But with the Google-Oracle lawsuit, Oracle laying off the Sun team, and my professional experience, I really have to convince myself building anything on top of a technology stack where they are such a powerful player.<p>I understand that OpenJDK is GPLed with class path exception, but is that enough? Could Oracle somehow sabotage OpenJDK into oblivion? What&#x27;s the most probable steps Google, IBM and RedHat could take if Oracle pulls the plug on Java, or worse, plays some dirty legal tricks?<p>I know my concerns are vague but I wonder if people who know better could share their thoughts?
