The Curious Incident of Sun in the Night-Time

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-read dept.

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."

  1. Java is as open as it is useful to Sun. by expro · · Score: 1, Troll

    Java is already open, as open as it is usefull to the open source community. it is not as open as stallman's dogma says it is desired, but that is another matter.

    To many in the open source community, it could be far more useful if it were more open. You do not speak for the open source community or me in any way, as you parrot Sun's tired old excuses and whining for better acceptance without being willing to do what it takes.
