Netbeans 6 Dual-Licensed Under GPLv2, CDDL

Posted by kdawson on from the drip-grind-caffeinated dept.

Lally Singh writes "Interested in the new Netbeans 6, but didn't trust Sun's (already OSI-approved) CDDL? Sun just Dual-Licensed it under the GPL (v2) with Classpath Exception. Keep your karmic license purity and mix in all the (now compatible) GPL code you want. If you've been using Eclipse, Netbeans 6 is really worth a look. Lean, well-featured, and fast."

    If you've been using Eclipse, Netbeans 6 is really worth a look.

    Also, if you've been using emacs, vim is worth a look. Vim is lean, well-featured, and fast.
