The license rather must PREVENT people from forking the language. It's paramount that there not be a multitude of different implementations that are all called Java yet don't allow each others' classfiles (or sources) to be used.
It must also ensure that you can release code created and compiled with the implementation under whatever license you choose, something licenses like the GPL don't allow which force you to use that same license for your own work making use of anything licensed under them.
In fact the current licensing system for the platform works perfectly well, there's no reason to allow the wolves to gather around what will soon be the carcass of the Java platform when this ill advised scheme is completed. |
