Apache, Sun Come To Terms On Open Source Java
rbeattie writes: "This morning at JavaOne it was announced during the keynote that Sun and Apache have come to an agreement securing the basic right to implement Java specifications in open source. Apache actually went as far as issuing a Press Release about it with information about the agreement. One of the cool things is that Sun actually agreed not only to change various licenses and contracts, release the testing code, but also to let qualifying non-profit open source groups use their 1800 support number while testing." (This is a followup to this earlier story indicating that such an agreement had been reached.)
With the way Sun
was wavering, i was
wondering if they
would ever get to
completing this.
Sun and IBM may be
both acting in their
best intrestes, but
IBM seems to under-
stand enlightened
self intrest better.
why is it that when sun is being a "bad guy" it goes to the front page for everyone.. but when they are a "good guy" the article is just stuffed away in no where land..
everything is just so god damn negative these days..
