No idea why this is so surprising ... the Java vs. Android lawsuit has nothing to do with Oracle's other contributions.

Good to read that they're now showing commitment to Linux. And platinum sponsor is quite a number. There are few of them.

IBM, Fujitsu, NEC, intel, Oracle (lolwut???), Qualcomm and now Samsung.
Au:
AMD, China Mobile, Cisco, Huawei, ETRI, Google, hp, hitachi, Motorola, NetApp, Nokia, Sony, SuSE, NYSE Tech, Panasonic, Toyota
And quite a number of Ag members (among them VIA (lol) or Broadcom)
It makes me wonder that some enterprises prefer to be in a board like this, spending quite an amount of money but why they then don't develop free drivers or share specs...

Awesome!
This is awesome!
It shows commitment!
Samsung is getting more and more appealing to me.
When looking to buy hardware in the future, I will likely look for Samsung.
