Java is Open Source!!!!!
The press release has just few, quite important, words:
13.November.2006—Sun believes deeply in creating communities and sharing innovations and technologies to foster more participation. Today in a historic move, Sun is opening the door to greater innovation by open sourcing key Java implementations—Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE), Java Platform Micro Edition (Java ME), and Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE)—under the GNU General Public License version 2 (GPLv2), the same license as GNU/Linux.Â
Well, this is one of those news that are going to make their own part of the history. Not only Java goes Open, but it does with the most free license: the GPL in its better version!
This will shake the development market a little bit more, probably opening new vistas into the future.
Well, this is something to keep in mind indeed! (shaping the next generation of the web?)
