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."

    It's sad that Debian always provoke such ideologic wars as if no more important work and decisions are needed.
    Ideology is easy, releases are hard.
