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.
