Important: Java 1.2 licencing changes

[Thomas Down]

Just before 1pm GMT today, I visited http://www.javasoft.com/.  The site
had been completely redesigned to announce that the JDK 1.2 technology had
been re-named Java 2, and it was to be distributed under a new (more open)
licence agreement.  Then a few minutes later it all disappeared and the
old pages returned!

I have to presume that they just announced things a bit
prematurely---unfortunately I didn't take copies of the new pages.
