- Hudson is a free continuous integration (CI) tool written by Kohsuke Kawaguchi in Sun. [1] - Oracle took control of Hudson as part of their Sun acquisition. - Hudson devs wanted to move the infrastructure from Java.net to Github due to frustration with Java.net. - Oracle objected the move to Github. Oracle said they owned the trademark to the Hudson name and the devs were free to fork under a different name if they wanted to. [2] - Devs forked Hudson as Jenkins.
