Patrik> <http://www.osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=6053> IMO, while it would be helpful if Sun opened their source, we don't really need it. What we do need is 3 things: 1. Access to the TCK on acceptable terms, 2. Involvement in the JCP without contamination or other unacceptable constraints, and 3. Easing of the requirements on subsetting. The free software community doesn't work well with the "one big perfect release" model that Sun seems to want. They could lift these restrictions for free implementations only. I think we all recognize compatibility as a major benefit of the Java platform; we differ only on how to get there. The free Java implementors and Sun would make good allies if these things were done.
