Yes, the code in Debian is free. However, we (users) cannot stick to some old
version forever. Without upstream support there will be a point where
the gridengine package will need some serious update and there won't be
enough manpower to replace Oracle.
So there is no need to stop doing anything right now, but it will be
useful to keep an eye on the future and plan ahead.
