I think Oracle likes to make money, period. And they will pursue whatever agenda gets them as much money as possible. That's why I don't believe this is an attempt by Oracle to control Android nor kill it. I think they just want their cut of all the money that's being made by the handset manufacturers who are using Android. They certainly don't want to see Android lose market share; they just want their piece of the action.
