I'm talking about all those years when Sun's baby was pretty good and "free as in beer" but not good/free enough for Red Hat to bless with an installer that actually worked so we got the broken gcj instead and made everybody hate java because it didn't work. Now the real thing is free enough, but so far I don't see the improvement that we were supposed to be waiting for...

"free enough"? Is that like "close" in horseshoes and hand grenades?

Free as in what the FSF names code encumbered with restrictions that prevent combining it with any other components.
