Well I guess Brian Cantrill is not well informed about oracle and ex sun employees. Or is he?

He also has an agenda against them, had an agenda against the Java division at Sun as well, so I always take his opinions with a big grain of salt.

It doesn’t matter.

Just think about it for a second. It’s ridiculous. Oracle has plenty of open source code. Merely suggesting that something be open source could not possibly lead to termination. There is obviously way more to that.

Whatever reason he was fired for might be unjustified, I have no idea. But it was absolutely not due to suggesting that they open source something.

If you’re basing that on this tweet, not only does it come well short of the claim you’re making, but it clearly indicates that Cantrill is going on third party hearsay.
