[PLUG-Devel] Close source Java apps on GPL?

Correct my thinking, if I am wrong.

Given:
- Sun is releasing Java (ie. the JVM, etc.) source code under the GPL
license.
- There are many closed source (non-free) Java applications.

Posit:
Closed source Java applications cannot run on the GPL'd JVM without
violating the GPL.

Discuss and/or provide references.
