I know about OpenJDK and whatever but, like I said, have personal experiences with them as a corporate entity. Do you really understand how that licensing works (and are you SURE?) I'm POSITIVE I understand how their "professional services" operate and I'm also aware they're suing Google over a clean-room clone of a freakin API (and I assume they bought Sun for this exact reason). I will not go into details here (but over a drink, sure!) but for me it boils down to thing "Do I trust them" and the answer to that questions is an unequivocal NO
