Sun Works With Apache Software Foundation

Posted by Hemos on from the he-said-she-said dept.

The Jakarta group had raised some concerns over the proposed Java Specification Participation Agreement. After some hemming and hawing, it appears that the Java Community Process chair (Sun) has agreed with the ASF's concerns - but IANAL ? . If you have more info, paste it below.

    Open office is still open, and better than SO6 for the same reasons mozilla is better'n netscape 6.
    And for the same reason netbeans is better'b forte for java, although I hear the Enterprise stuff in FFJ is nice.

    I mostly agree with your other post except that the JCP really does help... I mean, read the article all these posts are "about". Apache didn't like the direction Java was going, made a stink, and Sun made atleast some attempt to help ease the concerns. Try to do that with .Net and Micro$oft... It's not ideal, but as you said, it's good technology.
