Should we really care if a company like Sun does interfere policies with a non-political activity like programming?

Regarding the issue  you just mentioned, I should appreciate open source projects and communities for their angles of view and manners toward separating politicians from ordinary programmers who intend to make this world a better place.

Also, why not just extending the Calendar classes  along any classes we need  and make up a Jar file out of them and distribute this library for those who need. Will Sun have any complaint? should we care?

Besides, I've heard things about java  going open source, is it a rummer or sth?
