Java 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.

Java IS open-source but not Free Software

Please don't confuse Open-source and Free Software. Java is already Open-source. You can see the source code. But it is not Free Software.

We should be asking for Java to be made Free Software (www.gnu.org)
