More SnOracle

I'll be brief, but here are the bullet points:

1. Oracle is dropping OpenSolaris
  Granted, it will be replaced with Solaris 11 Express (including a Free RTU developers license).

2. Oracle is suing Google for using Java-related technology (Seriously?)

3. Oracle is going to be charging for ZFS.

  So far, this is only hearsay.  I haven't seen any articles detailing
such.  I'm going to venture most likely that they will charge for ZFS
to be used on any operating system except Solaris, in such case ZFS
will be provided free of charge.
