Well it's only taken 12 years for Sun to do but it looks like they are finally open sourcing Java. Recoginizing that open source is pretty much the only way Java is going to survive the next ten years, Java has slowly weeded it's way through the numerous intellectual property minefields contained in Java. Currently they are soliciting developer feedback on type of license to be used. I would prefer LGPL but that's just me.
