As Oracle is part of the OpenOffice.org community, it should be bound to 
the rules established (mainly by Sun Microsystems employees) for the 
community: initiate votes to remove people they think not to represent 
the community's will.

If they don't, I can't see how they want to speak for the community.

Oracle is trademark holder and contributor of the main part of the code 
for OpenOffice.org. But if they behave as owner of the community public 
reaction will be even more non-ambiguous than now.

Best regards

Bernhard
