Free Java button

For just $2.99, this button tells everyone you meet that you're concerned about the fate of Java under Oracle's stewardship. For $3.79, a twin rectangular magnet alerts visitors to your refrigerator to the cause.

Java creator James Gosling's campaign for a "free" Java has a new twist: campaign T-shirts, coffee mugs, buttons, and a refrigerator magnet. Arriving just in time for Oracle OpenWorld and JavaOne, the swag, designed by Gosling himself and for sale at CafePress.com, allows you to express your support for an independent and vendor-neutral Java standards process at a price and pitch that suits you. Fight the power!
