Oracle is great at leeching from the revenue streams of their customers; not a company you want responsible for the future of Java. As my co-worker said, this will be a true test of open source. I am very interested to hear responses from IBM, JBoss, Spring Source, etc. I remember a Posse episode a couple years back where the scenarios that would trigger a fork of Java were discussed -- I think we have one here. I also wonder how the Sun's "defensive" patents will be wielded by Oracle as well.
