Apropos the former web site, what I write has absolutely nothing to do with Oracle Corporation, though I have to seek permission to write anything these days. Books are just the same deal. Once permission has been sought and granted, *what* you right is pretty much down to the individual.
I was approached by Wrox, not the other way around. If Oracle Press would care to approach me, I'd consider their request... and then reject it. Their material is embarrasing, and I wouldn't particularly want to be associated with it.
Let me state again: Oracle Press have absolutely nothing to do with Oracle [Quoted] Corporation (as I understand it). They probably license the name, and that's about it. But they are not owned by Oracle Corporation as far as I am aware, and have nothing else in common either (accuracy being the first thing that springs to mind).
