Just wanted to say that I'm *really* pleased with 1.2.2RC2, and I'm
sure that the rest will be even better. I've been running RC2 with
native threads on an SMP machine (2xPIII-500) with 2.3-series kernel
without a hitch - *very* nice. Worth the wait, guys!
It appears that the whole blackdown/sun/inprise debacle really was a
case of multiple miscommunication - it is unfortunate, but such
problems often occur when organizations with such different goals and
restrictions interface. I sure hope that everyone calms down and does
the right thing by the others... while there is plenty of blame to go
around, it just isn't productive.
Re: author credit vs the SCSL... There are two issues here: ownership
and credit. While it is true that under the SCSL, Sun may *own*
derivative works, failure to cite the authors of such work is simple
plagiarism. It is intellectual dishonesty to claim authorship of
someone else's works, even if you own rights of distribution. That
said, it appears that Sun has done a pretty reasonable job at
assigning due credit in their recent PRs.
