Another reason to not trust Oracle and non-free software

I use OpenJDK 6 and 7 when needed, but I read today that Canonical is not only removing the Sun/Oracle JRE's from all their repositories, but also from user's systems as well. This will affect Ubuntu 11.04 and earlier considering that the proprietary JREs are not available for 11.10 and above.

What is the reason for this? Oracle's Larry Ellison is behind retiring the "Operating System Distributor License for Java" that allowed many distributions to distribute Java with their system. Since this happened, Canonical cannot update even the current versions with security fixes and is choosing to nuke it alltogether. Also, when people update the sun-java JRE in the future in update manager, OpenJDK will replace it.
