Why "openjdk" instead of "jdk"? Will there be a non-"open" jdk at some

According to the Wikipedia entry:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK
"OpenJDK is the effort by Sun Microsystems to release a fully
buildable Java Development Kit based completely on free and
open source code."
It looks like the OpenJDK project is based on the GNU GPL (v2) license.
Since Sun still distributes the 'proprietary' one, I'd assume we would
want 'open' to be in the name explicitly. However, that does create the
issue that users may try to install both at the same time and I imagine
they share the same directories/files.
