What does the health of Sun mean for Java? Now that it's open sourced I wonder if it doesn't mean all that much? However, the health of Java could become a major factor for Sun ... right? I mean... couldn't it?

Sun owns the Java trademark, making it difficult to effectively fork and still use the Java name. Sun does enforce this, for example, the javapolis conference can no longer use that name.

Sun could endorse the Java name for the Java language? For example C++ is C++. If Sun dies, Java how we will call it? OpenJDK?, Hava?, Beans++?. I wish Fujitsu buy Sun before is to late.

Yeah Java is Open Source already and have the JCP, EG's etc, Java doesnt depend of Sun anymore but just the Java trademark they could share it to the world so we can call to Java "Java" or I dont understand how can be that point.

Many words, no content.

Nope, a clear content... FUD FUD FUD

No worries. Sun may have to make drastic changes. But there is no way that they will ever a) Let go of Java or Solaris or b) die because they still have billions in cashflow via support contracts.
