Debian DPL Threatens to Leave SPI Over Sun Java

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the honeymoon-is-over dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A three-week-long flame war in debian-devel over the new Java Distribution License has culminated in Anthony Towns, the newly elected Debian Project Lead, offering to separate Debian from its legal representative, SPI. This came as a response to SPI member John Goerzen's objections to the Debian project's interaction with Sun's legal team around the new JDL license without review from SPI's lawyers."

    There's a riot in the bazaar! Quick! Let's hide in the cathedral!

    And there you will find the ass that tried to start a riot. I can do without Java and all the bull shit that goes along with it, thanks.
