Ok, let's take Sal's question seriously: In legal terms, Sun owns the copyright to the Java Logo, which is associated with the Java platform and language. Sun also is the controller of Java (language, maybe also platform) according to an international standards organization. I believe that, as owner of the logo, Sun can set the standards as to the use conditions of the logo. Just like Microsoft can prevent me from sticking a Windows 95 compatible logo on any computer program I write. This may extend to the word "Java" itself when used with programming languages. So Microsoft can write any language it wants. It's just not clear whether or not they can call it "Java" and it's unlikely that they can use Sun's "Java logo."
