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 did the author address this "open letter" to Sun only? Plenty of other vendors have Java stuff like IBM, BEA, Borland, etc. Why doesn't he send the letter to them and ask them to open source Java [sic]."
That's an interesting question. It can only have to do with the trademark or the quality of SUN's Java versions versus the others. Otherwise it's some kind of bull. Wasn't it IBM who asked SUN to open-source Java after ESR send his open letter to the I-World?
