I think that characterization is a little unfair. They could shut the team down and kept the source. Oracle draws a lot of hate reasonably but I'd like to see any closed project open sourced.

In what way? It seems to me Oracle has a habit of pulling company resources for things they open source, wihle still retaining the ability to market it privately with their own enhancements and the enhancements from the open source community, with little given back.

Just look at Solaris. It's the same story, over and over again.
