It could be done in a way such that the entire test suite passes, even such that Microsoft’s implementation runs all or almost all Java applications (probably more than what some other careless engineers would do), and yet have some extensions that would make applications developed with Microsoft’s environment totally incompatible with other Java environments.

Nothing in the license (at I read its sketch) would prevent Microsoft or anybody else from implementing MSJVM extensions again. “The Case for Open Source/Closed Standards” “If a JVM+JavaLibraries implementation passes the test, it is compatible” Is it me, or doesn’t it seem like JBQ jumped the gun? Seems to me, and I read this elsewhere, that Sun was ASKED to do this, not that they went out and did it as a PR stunt. That we consider taking the Open Office XML Format, currently under construction at OASIS, to ISO for consideration as an International Standard. The next step happened in mid-July when the EC wrote a formal letter to the participants in the March meeting (Sun and Microsoft), informing them of the outcome and highlighting a couple of key points. I would very much rather have Sun distribute the source under a “no redistribution” license, along with a program that allows people or organizations to create custom versions for internal use and to submit changes back to Sun which would then consider them for inclusion in the official version of Java. I have the feeling that this is another “feel-good” attempt by Sun, but that in that case there’s a very definite risk of a negative impact.
