Two Takes on the Java Dilemma

Posted by Hemos on Monday April 12, 2004 @02:35AM from the let-my-sandbox-go dept.

Joe Barr writes "NewsForge is running a pair of excellent commentaries on the plight of Java and the Java development community following the recent "settlement" between longtime rivals Sun and Microsoft. One is by Rick Ross, the articulate leader of JavaLobby, entitled "Where is Java in the settlement?" The second is "Free but shackled: The Java trap" by Richard Stallman. Good reading. Both commentators put their finger on the heart of the problem, albeit from different perspectives." Yes, Newsforge and Slashdot are both owned by OSDN.

LOL.
Facts as flamebait? Way to argue. If you can dispute the facts, then do that, dont just mod it down because you dont like it.
Mods act just like Sun did. Cant argue, cant win, so complain. Typical. I would add that Sun cant sell Java now, even if they want to. They dont own it anymore. Now, there is some flamebait for your ass.
