It hasn't had any effect upon our project. Java 2 is still not free

software stands for.
It's doubtful that Sun's Java license will change anytime in the
near or long term future.

Baratz (president of JavaSoft) expects that the time for
compromise or talk of the economic model behind Java is over,
saying that the new royalty plan for Java end-products will be in
place "for years or the next decade."
