> I can't say whether the SVM will remain closed or not. I really don't know. There just currently aren't any plans to open it.

Then there are no reasons to expect it to be open, as long as it's commercially viable to sell it. This is Oracle we're talking about. Not a company known for its love for F/OSS.

It'd be a real shame if Oracle couldn't see the benefits of open-sourcing SVM. New companies are far less likely to base their tech stack on closed source components when more mature open-source competitors exist, there's too much risk involved.
