Couldn't agree more. The OpenOffice.org model seems to work well for Sun so that seems a natural way to go to get things opened up. I get the feeling that that is Eric Raymonds point of view too, his argument appears to be that Sun are doing it right in other areas and that if they could just be consistent and do the same for Java then people would be happier.
The question of loosening the proprietary strangehold on the Java brand as presented by Rick is another issue. This aspect is a harder sell to the Sun management but is interesting nonetheless.
