I don't think you understand what "that claim" is. Nobody's claiming that Oracle literally said the words you put in quotation marks. The actual claim you are disputing, as far as I can tell, is that Oracle's recent actions have shown an intent to take Java from a free programming language to a money-making venture and oppose implementations that don't put money in Oracle's pockets. See, for example, the suit against Google and the sidelining of Harmony. The article itself notes that even the groups supporting Oracle's technology roadmap are troubled by its business decisions around Java.
None of this is the kind of thing most people would look for in a press release.
