As far as I can see Oracle just asked nicely, but without any 
consideration for the issues that prompted the ASF to leave in the first 
place.  To me, that is not even close to begging - I would rather 
consider it damage control.

Saying anything but that Oracle has taken Java back as their own 
commercial product to the largest possible extend, would be incorrect.

But that is just like what we have with Visual Studio and had with 
Delphi, so it is business as usual.
