James Gosling creates a "Free Java from Oracle" t-shirt. Frankly I wonder what if Java was free from the beginning, would it reach the popularity that it has today? Look at those with ISO like organizations behind it like C++ or Ecmascript, they tend to have abit too much political maneuvering and arguing and it take a long time for them to agree on standards. For the one person system that Python, Ruby have, the seem to lack the mass acceptance that Java commands (because SUN was backing it up those days), yeap they are popular but are they really being used a lot in the Enterprise space?
