That's exactly the case. Oracle worked with openjdk community for
development of java se 7. The only difference in oracle's "other"
Java is It has some class libraries which were not released initially
under GPL because Sun microsystem did not have license of those
libraries. Some third parties were the license holder who refused to
come under GPL. The "JVM" is still for both type of java is 100% GPL'd. 
Its the Class library components that's in the question. Open jdk
provides alternatives for those class libraries. 

Open Jdk is hugely promoted by oracle during jdk 7 development. So there
is no way that its being inferior to anything.
