From: Jim Oberholtzer
the moment Oracle tries to pull a Microsoft and claim sufficient ownership
to demand license fees, it's gonna get hot fast.

I seem to recall reading something from James Gosling in which he indicated that
Sun did charge license fees for Java, and that it was a profitable business.
How much more will Oracle charge? How much less "open" will Java become? How
much more proprietary? How much less competition between JVM implementations?
What will Oracle do to "tune" Java to perform better for Oracle applications?
It's not that there is a pending threat to the Java platform, but that Oracle
is more for making money than endearing itself to the "community".
