吃水不忘挖井人 - The People Who Brought You FOSS Java

前后两任Sun的COO(Chief Opensource Officer)都曾经就开源Java谈到过人的问题。现任Simon Phipps几个月前 说, 尽管Java有几百万开发人员，但是"in short term", Java开源大概只会影响几百人, 但是他也承认这并不说明开源对于Java不重要，就像维护Linux内核代码的程序员也数的过来一样。而他的前任Danese Cooper则说，"It's a crime that individual contributors aren't recognized when they contribute to something great." 所以请允许我感谢这些曾给世界带来Java以及努力过和仍在努力make Java free as in freedom的 人们.
