Java becomes closed source

December 9, 2010: The ASF Resigns From the JCP Executive Committee.

It seems that now Java to Oracle is as C# to Microsoft. Java becomes proprietary language of Oracle. But, C/C++/PHP/Perl/Python/Ruby are still open source.

Since Oracle also owns MySQL, don't know what will happen to MySQL. PostgreSQL is still open source though.

Good blog to follow.

However, Java is still openner, in my view. And now, even the core java sources are accessible, like they are promoting open JDK nowadays, which is quite useful for debugging.
