Hope that sun won't do the same with j...
The only true safety for us would be to make java opesource .
I have a somewhat theoretical question on this subject.
What if java really does violate the patent, but has already been lcensed as

Who will get sued then? (I know, you're not a lawyer, but as a matter of
speaking...)
