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.

What Sun does not understand...

is that the free/open source mouvement is much more important thing that Java.

So Sun should seize the occasion which is offered to team up with the free software community. It is better for them (and for evrybody) to be with us that against us because, in the end, open source WILL prevail.

Java is just a language and open source will do with or without it.
