Lutris Closes Enhydra Source

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the slam dept.

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.

    Then don't send in the Navy SEALs. These poor guys have never tackled with real terrorists, so why don't you cust call SAS and let the pros handle the threat?

    Osama Bin Laden is probably a figment of the CIA's imagination. That much is probably true.

    Yes, I don't know that he is totally unreal, but he is probably not behind any of this.

    If you check out the EPS on quote.com, you'll see that VA loses six times its market cap every quarter. I heard ESR is working on a new essay, called "Surprised by Chapter 7".

    Boneheaded, opportunistic comment of the day. Last week Jerry Falwell blamed the WTC attack on the ACLU, feminists, and gays. Here's what ESR has to say about it;

    Raymond, the libertarian open-source guru, known for his love of firearms, suggested that if the passengers of the hijacked jets had had guns the four-plane tragedy might have been prevented: "We have learned today that trying to keep civilian weapons out of airplanes and other areas vulnerable to terrorist attack is not the answer either -- indeed, it is arguable that the lawmakers who disarmed all the non-terrorists on those four airplanes, leaving them no chance to stop the hijackers, bear part of the moral responsibility for this catastrophe."
    The story about this took less than five minutes to be rejected by the editors. Apparently when your stock is circling the drain, a member of the Board of Directors saying something like that isn't something you necessarily want publicised.

    Think air rage is bad now? Try arming those drunk businessmen and see what happens.

      Offtopic is offtopic. We're reading this to discuss Lutris and Enhydra and nothing else. Marking an offtopic post as such has nothing to do with stifling speech.

      Oh, and as long as I'm flaming you, the possessive form of the word is "its," not "it's."

    gcj 3.0 implements a great deal of 1.2. It's lacking AWT/Swing and RMI. The latter will be in 3.1.
