I think it’s a legitimate licensing concern.

I’m surprised you called it FUD, given the high-profile case against Android (google).

I was about to recommend we try it at my company and gave up as soon as I read “Oracle” in the company name.

Call it FUD if you want but Oracle does have a damaged reputation.

I don't understand the point of the clip. He says that the code was similar to Sun's, but clearly admits that, not being involved with the trial, he didn't get to see Google's code.
