JCP Election Google vs. Oracle (Hologic)

... what's happening in the Java society?

The results of the JCP election arrived and I'm astonished about all the blogs commenting this...
Many articles have the tenor that it's fine that Google is in and Hologic hasn't got enough votes.
For explanation... I haven't read about Hologic before and I'm left wondering if Hologic would be beneficial for the JCP.
But why there is the opinion that Hologic shouldn't have been voted because ...
  • Hologic prefers Oracle products
  • Oracle has nominated Hologic
... is this an acceptable attitude?

In the next sentence Google will be mentioned and that this would be the better choice?
Come on, this election has only brought Google closer to a monopoly.
What is the benefit of Google for the JCP?
Google employees create great products. In the Java field the most known are GWT, GAE, Closure, Google Collections, support libs for all the Google APIs and also Android and Dalvik.
Yes, Android... I'm not happy that Google has used technology of Android, Inc (see here and here) for their mobile phone environment. This brought some kind of split into the Java hemisphere.
I would be thankful if Google uses its new seat to reconcile Android with Java but is this the intention of Google?
At the moment I've a queasy feeling and I'm not convinced that Google can appease my hunger.
Enjoy your meal!
