Hi all, I don't know if anyone here has heard about the recent release of Sun's Project Looking Glass under the GPL. Its no doubt a good sign to see Sun releasing this interesting project under a true Free Software license. However, the Java code still depends on a couple of Java extensions, namely Java 3D and Java Advanced Imaging. I was wondering if anyone knew about the possibility or the existence of an effort to create Free Software implementations of these libraries? Having these would mean that Project Looking Glass would be more likely to run on a Free platform. At present, it is tied to proprietary Sun licenses, even if the main code is under the GPL.
I'm not sure but maybe some developpers on classpath project already work on this.
There is a free vecmath implementation, Bryan posted a link to it a few days ago, when the Java3d subject came up for the first time. There is no free software implementation of the Java3d apis, afaik. I doint't think there is a free implementation of JAI, yet, either. If you're looking for a nice project ... go for it :)
cheers, dalibor topic
