Argument's pro/con about the GPL/GLPL aside I think this is premature.
The Java language/environment specification is still too loose and has
too many unclarified areas at this point. I'd rather wait a bit and
get things nailed down a bit more to at least keep the proliferation
of language dialects to 1.
