at this point in time I will not offer more time to work on it, but at latter time some of the clusters could become interesting. The interesting question: What will happen with the code? Would Oracle at a later time willing to reopen the archives and donate the contents then, if further review has happend? To be frank: Oracle requires copyright assignment and with this come benefits (Oracle can take my code and use it in its closed source product without me getting paid), but it comes at a moral price: You can't just drop the product. I'm aware that you are putting huge work into this, so please don't take it as an offence.
