    What major flavor of Unix does Java not run on? AIX? Check. Solaris? Of course. Irix? Check. MacOSX? Check. PPC Linux? Check. BSD? Check.

    As for the non-free bit, Java runs on MacOS X, Irix, AIX, and Windows. I'm sure there are more ports, but that covers all of the major OSes that run server-side software. J2ME even runs on tons of telephones and PDAs.

    I'm not sure what your point is. But it seems like your information may be a bit out of date.

    It's not open source software

    Not true, the source is openly available. It may be non-Free by the FSF definition, but it is certainly not closed.

    Webware for Python lets you write servlets in Python. I'm using it for a project at work and I'm very pleased with it. My initial plan was to do the prototype in Python and switch to Java later, but the Python implementation works so well that it is now running in production.
