Java wasn't open source then. M$ licensed it and then allegedly violated the
terms of the license.  MS called it Java, but it wasn't quite Java.  I don't
remember the details beyond that.

The pseudo-java being used in Android (Google, again) might also be
considered a fork by some. Or the pre-cursor to one.
