I know that Python, Ruby, Perl are all open source, but is Java really an open source programming language?

I have been searching on Google too, but I didn't find a proper answer.

java open-source

The "official" SUN implementation of the language itself is not, but there is a community-driven process (not sure how well it works) for suggestions to improve the language - the Java Community Process. There are also open implementations of the Java development tools and runtime, such as OpenJDK.
