James Gosling On The Sun/Microsoft Settlement

Posted by timothy on Tuesday April 13, 2004 @01:49PM from the horse's-mouth dept.

greg_barton writes "James Gosling has responded to the two previous commentaries cited on Slashdot about the Java Dilemma. Some interesting excerpts: "In Rick Ross's 'Where Is Java In This Settlement?' he worries that Sun may have sold out the Java community. We didn't. We have not sold our soul to the Dark Side." and "There's a long thread of discussion on Slashdot 'Two Takes on the Java Dilemma' that is pretty entertaining, from a wow, what are they smoking! point of view. There are voices of reason, and conspiracy nuts.""

Curious, then, that users of GPL'ed software do not complete freedom to do with it as they wish. Instead it is burdened with conditions that suite RMS's personal agenda. You may happen to like that agenda but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
