There´s no benefit??
If you enhance OpenJDK, you enhance OpenJDK *and* Oracle´s propietary Java.
You don´t care / hate propietary software, fine, don´t care about it,
but don´t tell me you wouldn´t help OpenJDK too in the process.
But you withholding contributions to BOTH OpenJDK *and* propietary
Java because of dogmatic reasons is for the benefit of who?.
