    Inspired by this post by Ed Zitron on Bluesky, I wondered if Oracle would file for bankruptcy in the future, whether due to poor decisions, millions in losses in sectors that failed to meet their targets, the loss of lawsuits filed by users and/or customers, or other reasons.

    What fate would you like to see for the products offered by this company?

      Java is under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation, but realistically it is likely to end up being bought by Google, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Meta or Apple.

      Oracle Solaris is likely to be absorbed by the Illumos Foundation.

      Just as Oracle ZFS is likely to be absorbed by the OpenZFS Project.

          Destroyed, never to be seen again.

          Well maybe virtualbox could be spun out first.

              Oracle NoSQL Database is released under the CDDL or Apache license

              Java being bought by JetBrains and ending up merging Java and Kotlin

              The rest in the trash

                            Jetbrains Java would be the best outcome. They're already heavily invested in Java and in the community.

                                  I think before this happens, a company would purchase Oracle, because all the tech they have. Oracle has a lot of enterprise and database stuff that I'm not familiar with. The only thing that counts to me is Java. So which companies has the money and knowledge and interest to buy Java rights?

                                  I'm not sure if this would be a good idea, but I can see Google to buy Java. The Android system is based on Java and they need the stability of the rights to not get in conflict with Oracle or any other company again. Also this would give Java some better development I guess.

                                      Apple doesn't sell WebObjects anymore, I don't think they use Java internally anymore.

                                        Oracle owns Cerner which is the largest healthcare IT provider. I believe by a wide margin...?

                                          Inspired by this post by Ed Zitron on Bluesky, I wondered if Oracle would file for bankruptcy in the future, whether due to poor decisions, millions in losses in sectors that failed to meet their targets, the loss of lawsuits filed by users and/or customers, or other reasons.

                                          What fate would you like to see for the products offered by this company?
