Completely agree, since there's no point in forking. If you fork Java the language, take a significant part of the community along with it and that hurts Oracle's business interests, they're pretty certain to go after users.

Due to Oracle's actions, Java is not free software any longer.

Java was never fully free, not even under Sun, it was only free beer for desktop platforms.
