The problem is that there are currently no virtual machines or class libraries available under the GPL. This means that many Linux distros don't have Java installed. That means that even though my software runs on Linux, it isn't widely used. I welcome any initiative that will bring Java to Linux more readily.
This move just means that open source implementations of Java are officially legal. It doesn't really bring them closer to being here now. Some of the interesting projects in this area are the GNU native compiler for Java and the GNU Classpath project. Neither are anywhere near being fully functional yet, but I'll give them time.
