Exactly my point! And why I find the policy questionable. Why do you think independent from Oracle is best though? The historic stuff still belongs to Oracle. Personally, I think the best option is the donating party, the next best is via Apache, and if that's not a possibility then perhaps there's a third-party that can be agreed between the two? Isn't it better for projects (and branding) that there's an agreed definitive place where old sources and binaries are archived in perpetuity, rather than pointing to random personal GitHub repos? Surely there's got to be some precedent here?!
