That's an stupid excuse. Is apache, mozilla, kde, gnome or any other big project forked? No they are not. Why should JAVA be forked over Linux? M$ did fork java on pourpose for commercial reasons but Linux people don't have to. It is a plain excuse to avoid saying the truth. They wanna use the community efford without giving back to it.
