It's really only a license issue. With all these dam restriction Open Sourcing Java in one way or another and making it compatible with OSI (Open Source initiative) can smooth the pipes.
Java has their standard base, like Linux Standard Base, to keep things standard.
Standards go way beyond fragmentation. Standards go beyond code because standards is law.
It's really the standards that rule. If someone else comes out with a new standard that's better then Sun then good for society and Sun will die like they should in a free market system.
In the world at large, standards exist beyond the monolithic system. If you think having only one Java and one standard is standard, think again.
