No Java implementation is unencumbered as Google is discovering with Dalvik (http://gigaom.com/2010/10/05/google-seeks-dismissal-of-oracl... ), and as the Apache foundation has finally resigned themselves to with the ironically named Harmony (https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/the_asf_resigns_fr... ).

OpenJDK is the Sun (now Oracle) controlled distribution under open source terms. GCJ (which isn't really a "Java" as you'd normally think of it) was put on the backburner by RedHat once OpenJDK became available.

I would gladly accept an OpenFlash, even if the code is from Adobe, at least I would know what exactly I'm running on my machine.
