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 problem with most of the "open source" community is that they have "software envy". They do not really innovate new solutions to problems., they just copy. Was Mono really neccessary? Please! The time these whiners spent trying to duplicate .Net on Linux, they could have spent getting the UI fixed (it currently sucks donkey xxxx). I swear, these guys are just like real ghetto!
