Ten years on, Java founder James Gosling sees upside in the open source move, while others believe Sun didn t go far enough  Ten years later, the open-sourcing of Java remains a point of contention, w stanley becher ith many in the community extolling the importance of an open Java, while others remain critical of its handling, including the belief that Sun Microsystems didnrsquo;t go far enough.Sun Microsystems officially open-sourced Java on Nov. 13, 2006mdash;a move long pined for by the industry at large. Javarsquo  code had already been accessible prior to that datemdash;a strategy that helped boost the platform from its earliest days, notes Java founder James Gosling.The source code for Java was available to all stanley us  from the first day it was released in 1995, says Gosling, who is now chief architect at Liquid Robotics. What we wanted out of that was for the community to help with security analysis, bug reporting, performance enhancement, understanding corner cases, and a whole lot more.It was very successful. Javarsquo  original license, Gosling says, allowed people to use the source code internally but not redistribute.
