Looks like Sun is finally releasing Java under an open-source license. The GPL v2 to be precise, and not the "Sun-conceived Community Development and Distribution License (CDDL)" as it has with other projects. It will be managed by a new community that will spring up called "Open JDK". I am looking forward to this. The main thing I hope this brings is more features and quicker bug-fixes. Hopefully the open-sourcing of Java will allow more developers to be involved and hence allow it to be improved at a quicker pace than it has in the past.
