  1. Java license for Free (as in ???) by GGardner · · Score: 4, Informative
    Well, it isn't free as in speech, cause we don't get source code, which means it is x86 only (amoung other issues).


    And the FreeBSD team had to pay $3k in legal fees to lawyers to wrangle licensing terms, so it is hardly free as in beer.
