IBM Launches Public Domain Project "Eclipse"

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the what-exactly-is-this-anyway? dept.

ccf writes "NY Times is carrying an article about how IBM is launching a new developer organization (Free Reg blah blah blah) called Eclipse, for open source development. The article is not rich in details; it says the stuff will be in the "public domain" but makes no mention of specific licenses." If anyone can find some links that make more sense about what this actually is, please post them.

    Perhaps this is an attempt by IBM to move away from the fucking stupid license agreements developed by the permanently stoned for the gullible.
