This was a letter I recently wrote to Sun's head of global communications, Russ Castronovo, after reading his interview with Chuck Talk on orangecrate.com, and then reading the ongoing pro-/anti-Mono arguments over at PlanetGnome. Now that Sun seems to be on the brink of making the decision to open-source Java (or not to), I thought it would be an appropriate time to take action.

Why ask for SUN to open-source Java while the Java sounce has been avaible for quite a while? In order to use Java on FreeBSD you have to download the JDK source, apply some patches and compile it yourself. What am I missing?
