Hi all, It's good that these things get raised.
My IANAL take on this. Despite the legal language changes, it is not much (any?) different to how Sun had it with Java 5/6 and the commercial products that hung off that. A bunch of us raised this with Oracle back at the start of this year and they were adamant that they didn't intend to change things from how Sun ran it. If people are concerned about a particilar point then I'm happy to take that to Oracle, let me know! But i don't think this is a case of it being a deliberate malicious trap or anything (and I can get suspicious with the best of em ;p) Cheers, Martijn On Saturday, 30 July 2011, martin_clausen <[email protected]> wrote: > Has anyone noted the language regarding "Commercial Features" in the > Java 7 SE license agreement? > > I found it curious and dug a bit around.
