The Curious Incident of Sun in the Night-Time
Joe Barr writes "NewsForge is carrying a story by Richard Stallman which blasts Sun's recent Java move, claiming it is deceptive and self-serving, makes Java neither free nor even open source, and leaves him wondering why it has attracted so much attention."
This is good stuff by Stallman's standards. Once he stops talk about the license change being meaningless, and all his usual Free Software stuff that he exists for, and gets onto the subject of inaccurate reporting, he becomes very reasoned and insightful. That's the effect of not having his words completely fuelled by passion - they become much more useful and constructive.
