Sun is exactly what Microsoft would be if it were short a few billion dollars. To think otherwise is to
significantly deceive ones self.

Do you just not grasp that Sun's rigid control of Java is the
antithesis of Open Source, and _especially_ the Apache philosophy?

Try forking the Java codebase sometime. See how fast it takes Sun's lawyers to find you. Want to port Java to a new platform?
Get special permission from Sun, and don't plan on having public
CVS (see the FreeBSD experience).

There's nothing "open" about that.
