Lutris, Close Source, And The Open Source Community

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the like-a-jilted-wife dept.

sohp writes "Back in mid-September Slashdot ran the story "Lutris Closes Enhydra Source" regarding that company's decision to retract its open source licensing terms. Now George C. Hawkins has reconstructed the pre-closed source reality and discusses it at How Lutris betrayed the Open Source Community . Short summary: blaming Sun was a smokescreen. Interesting use of web archive sites, too." There's definitely a lot of strong feelings against Lutris in the linked piece, but there's also a lot of validity as well.

  2. There's a better article about this. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Whoops, it looks like the linked site is Slashdotted already! You can find a much better article about this issue here. I think it goes into a lot more detail than the now-Slashdotted article that was linked to by the story.

    Thanks.

      Saying a non-slashdoted site is slashdoted so you can bring people to your stupid website that has nothing to do with the article in question is pretty lame.

    I managed to read the article before it was Slashdotted, but I wasn't very impressed by it. Another article here offers a much fairer treatment of the subject. Give it a look!

  5. Enhydra and J2EE by Spootnik · · Score: 3, Offtopic

    Another alternative to Lutris Enhydra Java/XML Application Server is Orion Server. This application server was one of the first fully J2EE compliant application servers, even before WebLogic. It is 100% Java. It supports both EJB and JNDI. It is FREE for development. I follow their list group and they seem to have a very good following. I find the product to be very easy to configure and deploy. It is worth evaluating.

    I was upset to see that the article was ./'ed, but the other article that the parent post of this one links to was a very good read. Since the article ./ linked to is ./'ed, please MODERATE UP the above post.
