Open Source Java revisited

Well once again Sun has backtracked on it's statements. Today the headlines read that Sun is still against the GPL and considers their form of opensource to be better. Basically it's you can do it your own way as long as we still profit. They have decide as I gather it to keep Java from the opensource idea now. It's essentially their only real product with any future, and that future is shakey at best. As more and more opensource applications become available, Java will lose more of its appeal. The one nice thing about Java is that the programs can be run in any OS. With all the new opensource projects coming out and being available for multiple platforms, the need for Java is dwindling. It is required to run openoffice.org releases. I see that Sun will eventaully cease to exist as a viable company because they have as Jim Collins would say, failed to develop their "hedgehog"concept. Part of that concept involves knowing what you can and can not be the best in the world at as Collins points out. Sun really needs a reality check because they're mediocre at everything it seems except not finishing products and accruing debt.
