It's not mistaken, it's cut and pasted directly from my in tray to my mail composer - you can come here and take a look if you like. Indeed I don't think the author is very senior (that's why I just called him "a Sun engineer"), but I think he's repeating the official Sun line. Some senior figures may be flirting with more advanced ideas, but if you work at Sun and you call their legal dept. that's what they'll tell you to say. When I first read it I felt like getting T-shirts made with "Java is a proprietary language" on the front and that e-mail on the back, but on reflection I think I'll just get on with my life. :) Stay cool, Chris -- Chris Gray /k/ Embedded Java Solutions Embedded & Mobile Java, OSGi http://www.kiffer.be/k/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] +32 3 216 0369 Visit us at�Embedded World 2005 <http://www.embedded-world.de/> 22--24 Feb. 2005 at the N�rnberg Messe (Germany), booth 10-504 _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
