The code is out there and protected with a proper license, there's nothing they can do about it, not even the meanest ugliest dirtiest evilest lawyer can do anything about it. That's a settled issue.
But as Dana wrote, Oracle only needs to play a little poker, a game where you win by convincing others your hand is something that it's not.
I'd say this is all Oracle needs to put in place a very nice and elegant FUD campaign, one that will be very effective in delivering a powerful punch on software freedom. Remember, FUD is a hugely powerful weapon in the corporate world, FUD is hugely effective in any environment dominated by greed, fear and the forces of money.
I'd say Oracle has a winner in its hands, all they have to do is play it well (and I'm pretty confident that they will, it's their game after all.)
