- tesseractive 14y agoGiven that Oracle is now going around and suing companies that put Java to a use they don't approve of (see: the Google lawsuit over Dalvik), it appears that the JVM is too IP-encumbered to be a suitable candidate for a web standard. Edit: imagine what a failure case it would be for the web if Oracle owned the IP rights to a core web standard and actively asserted them. Yikes.
