- pjmlp 10y agoSo what do you think it would happen if Oracle just made OpenJDK offline, withdraw its developers or even nastier changes to OpenJDK (left to imagination)? Which of those listed companies would try to keep OpenJDK alive and drive the JEPs?

- nitrogen 10y agoThere are many examples of projects maintained by a cooperative effort between multiple corporations.
- pjmlp 10y agoYet none of those companies cared enough for Java to save Sun, why would they do it then?
- wolfgke 10y agoYou can care as much as you want: If you don't have the money to save them, you will be of no use.
