The last paragraph sums up my opinion very well:

He concludes, "The truth is simple: Oracle did not create JavaScript. Oracle does not control JavaScript. Oracle should not own the trademark for JavaScript."

"JavaScript" was genericized before oracle even acquired the name (via sun microsystems).
