I believe that _implementing_ Java is open for anyone. What Sun wants is just that if your products want to be called "Java", then comply to what JCP says on Java (the spec. I mean). I think it's not only on the Java language, but also on the bytecodes; you have to follow certain standards. Oki -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
