Closer to open source, but not close enough :) The JINI license sucked, and
so does this. Classpath will allow the *community* to own Java, not Sun.
And that's the goal of all free software. Put full ownership of the product
into the hands of the people who use it and you're bound to come up with
better products that more closely fit people's needs.
Question: has anyone read it well enough to know whether we can look at the
source now without breaking cleanroom? I'm betting not.
