Lutris Closes Enhydra Source

Ron van Balen writes: "Lutris has retracted the open source Entreprise Enhydra product. The old version will remain open source, but the open source community will not get access to the new J2EE compliant product. The decision was made because Sun J2EE license requirements don't allow an open source release, Lutris says. Lutris also says it wil refocus its efforts to its commercial products and support the open source community at a lower priority. It seems there is one less commercially supported OSS project on the planet." Newsforge has an excellent piece on this as well which gets into the reasoning and details on this move.

call SAS
You mean the Scandinavian Air Lines?
Well, they're about to go under so perhaps you could convince them to drop a few planes on Osama and claim the insurance instead...

With things like Resin (very fast servlet runner), Tomcat, jboss, Jonas, and OpenEJB, why would we care about Enhydra? It was always kind of a bizarre product anyway, with one of the lamest templating languages I've seen. Open source Java is alive and well.
