Sun is the single company who controls the Java language and right to use the name. No, Sun has veto power and they don't throw away excellent ideas. As for controlling the name, would you feel better if they changed the name to POS and then let anybody adopt it? It's a trademark name, there's nothing wrong with that. Look, this isn't about Sun's open process for developing a new software environment, we're talking about Microsoft's completely closed systems. If there's a viable open technology, Microsoft will destroy it by creating a vastly inferior but highly proprietary version.
