Sun Demurs On Open-Source Java

Posted by timothy on from the titles-redone-at-great-expense dept.

Tarantolato writes "A Sun spokesman and James Gosling now say that there are no set plans to distribute Java under an open-source license. According to Gosling, 'the debate is still going on, fast and furious'. Concerns about forking are cited, as usual."

    Their PR department should squash anything untill it is an official announcement. Just BAD business model IMO. I'm not much of a progrmmaer any more (although I am supposed to be learning TK). Haven't had much time to stay with it. Did most of my programming back in the early 80's (IBM's and C-64's). Java just hasn't ever gave me a warm fuzzy. But then again I still use win 98 because it does give me a warm fuzzy. Go figure.
