Well, you may have a different experience, but for me and my companies (current/prev) it wasn't a lot of fun working with Oracle.

It's not that all the stuff is bad or that all the 'free' things turn sour, most of the things are technologically sound, but there is just so much lawyering, licensing and IP fighting that takes all the joy out of life. This isn't unique to Oracle, but not even IBM is as passive-agressive as their non-tech people and documents are.

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.

Oracle has an extensive history of screwing developers and companies with IP laws, being suspicious of projects coming from Oracle is only a valid reaction on the history of the company.
