    Non responsive trolling. Bad faith muted.

    "easy" and "easier" have very different meanings. I've read through these comments and, as is typical of HN, virtually none of them refute or even address the points made by TFA.

    Sun's JDK implementation was made open source (GPLv2) in 2006 and dubbed OpenJDK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenJDK

    It's not Oracle that issued the ban -- it doesn't have that authority. It's the OpenJDK Governing Board. (Of course the latter generally follows Oracle's lead.) https://openjdk.org…

    Things like this can't be undone, any more than selling off public lands.
