If Oracle did this, Oracle would be in conflict with the CDDL.
If they publish binaries, they need to publish sources as well.
The main problem is that while Sun had a long tradition to do things in the
open (you could e.g. see what Sun was planning by reading job announcements in
the internet in the early 1990s already ***), Oracle seems to hide enything.
It would be interesting to see how Oracle id going to replace people who
surrender without leaking information on their future....
***) I did e.g. know in 1996 that Sun was planning to write a new filesystem
as UFS successor. The positions at that time have been offered in
Colorado, so it was not of interest for me...
