This has been said many-a-time and by, frankly, bigger names.

Unless we can come up with an alternative revenue source to suggest Oracle use instead to fund client-Java then it will continue no matter how disapproving everyone is. Oracle isn't exactly a company who cares about how much they're liked.

I have no idea exactly how much McAfee pays Oracle, but I also have no suggestions for alternative revenue sources (as ads on the download page are poor generators). At least it isn't spyware/malware, we can be thankful of that (jokes about McAfee aside, it is still better than the Ask Toolbar in my view).
