Via Tim Bray, I see that Sun has decided on the license they'll use for OSS Java - the GPL. This will bring up an interesting issue: I get a lot of anecdotal reports of companies being concerned about using GPL software. So here's what I'm interested in seeing:

• Is Sun offering a dual license thing to deal with that, or is it less of a problem than I think it is?
• Is it a larger issue, and will companies stay on older revs of Java "just to be sure?"
• Will any larger company try to do a "hijack fork"?

Those aren't "I hope it fails" questions on my part, either - I'm genuinely curious.
