RichL,

Sun did NOT lose sole ownership of Java. They lost a vote to be "designated as the submitter of standards for Java to the
International Standards Organization (ISO)".

Had they been successful, Java would have become an international standard, and Sun would be the sole party setting the standard. Without the ISO we are back to the normal system of Sun owning Java and liscencees having to abide by the Sun licesning agreement, which is still just about the same deal, but being sanctioned by the ISO would have carried a lot more legal clout.

Best,

Scott
