  1. Sun has released OSI approved code. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on Sun Considers Releasing Solaris In Segments
    The Netbeans code that Sun just released was released under an OSI approved license. See the license if you want to see for yourself.

    This SPL is jsst like the MPL with only s/Mozilla/Sun/g and s/MPL/SPL/g. Take a look for yourself normal diff non-unified

    I think Sun is seeing their mistakes with SCSL. They seem to be doing a great job with the netbeans.org site.....maybe they are listening to collab net...or are listening to /.

  3. Misundertanding gated communities by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on Who Works In Gated Communities?

    The original post confuses two concepts: sponsored communitie and gated communities. Some open source projects now have corporate sponsors, but they are truly open source. The Upside article mentioned HP and Sun.

    • HP is sponsoring e-speak.net. That is all GPL code.
    • Sun is sponsoring netbeans.org. This is all MPL code.
    • Collab.Net itself sponsors tigris.org. That code is distributed under the Apache license or BSD.

    These are sponsored communities. The "gated communities" are not for average open source contributors to visit at all. They are for corporations to use to develop their own software with their own employees and their corporate partners. The cool thing is that they are using open source development methods within the gates. That means that more people are learning about open source and will be ready to contribute to the public projects.
