Doesn't IBM, Linux, FreeBSD etc use OpenJDK? I was also under the impression that Oracle now also uses OpenJDK as the base for their releases - with some of their own additions. If this is all correct, it means they all pretty much use the same Java VM and Compiler implementations.

IBM has their own JVM, J9:

Yes, and based on OpenJDK with their own additions - just like Oracle is doing.

It was discussed in a IBM developerWorks podcast. Here is the transcript of that podcast.

Bottom of page 2:

"Gartner: Well, IBM's been a long-time licensee from originally Sun and now Oracle, and so our existing Java implementations are based on primarily openjdk as it exists today..."

I forgot to say... But to be fair, most of the information regarding Oracle's Java releases, OpenJDK, IBM J9 etc is pretty murky.
