This should be good for some flames (I mean, "spirited discussion" :-) M 17 May: the open-source-Java dance. Recent developments:

If we do something to make Java even more open-source than it is
already, having safeguards to protect the developer community will
be something we pay a lot of attention to. Carefully done,
open-sourcing could actually promote interoperability by making it
easier for disparate groups to align behind one code base.

Would open-sourcing [Java]--and the loss of control from Sun that it
entails--work? I don't know. Obviously, they're talking about, 'Oh,
if we do open source, then Sun would still control the
compatibility.' I still have to see a net positive value, and it
hasn't been articulated by any one of the proponents in any
convincing fashion.
