The source-code in OpenJDK can be inspected and OpenJDK itself can be forked if Oracle's stewardship goes awry, which is the whole freaking point of open-source

The source-code in OpenJDK can be inspected and OpenJDK itself can be forked if Oracle's stewardship goes awry, which is the whole freaking point of open-source, so I don't see how that can compare with Windows or iOS.

  Android wasn't fork of OpenJDK

      No, Dalvik is not a fork of OpenJDK, but a clean room implementation. If it would have been a fork, then Google would be protected by the GPL license.

      No. Dalvik was a new implementation and for the android standard library was used a fork of Harmony.
