JVM pros/cons clarification #207

Currently, the pros/cons document states the following for the JVM:

Nonstarter. Oracle ownership and intellectual property issues.

OpenJDK has been the official reference implementation of Java since Java 7, and it is licensed under the GPLv2 with a linking exception.

Furthermore, there are many FOSS implementations of the JVM.
Even HotSpot, the primary reference implementation of the JVM, has been licensed under GPLv2 for a long time.

I also don't know what is meant by intellectual property issues specifically.

So it seems that this particular con no longer applies, and as such, this section could probably be a little more fleshed out and updated to list other cons. It would make for a better point-of-comparison against other alternatives.
