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.

The fact that its license is restricting and it doesn't even allow porting/patching without authorization (I know that some Be devs had to talk to Sun just to get the ok to start porting Java to BeOS). FreeBSD got authorization to do the port AFAIK.
