What's kept Java from being used as widely as possible is there hasn't been an Open Source implementation of it that's gotten really widespread use.

In true open source development, there's lots of visibility all the way through the development process.

"Einstein need not wait for an apple to fall"...That is the essence of Open Source Software..

Open source can propagate to fill all the nooks and crannies that people want it to fill.

For me, open source is a moral thing.

There is no harm in being used. We all use one another daily. But were you misused by me? I can think of no one alive who could have performed better under the demands of your fate.
