Few people want to see a future where Linux is, at best, a platform for proprietary Java implementations.

What other kind of Java implementation is there? Kaffe? Classpath? *snort* There's no such thing as free (libre) enterprise-quality Java. Linux/Windows/OSX/Solaris/BSD, every one of these is, at best, a platform for proprietary Java implementations. And apparently that's the way Sun wants it!
