This should be good for some flames (I mean, "spirited discussion" :-) M 17 May: the open-source-Java dance. Recent developments:
* Gosling edges forward: http://today.java.net/jag/page7.html#62 > If we do something to make Java even more open-source than it is > already, having safeguards to protect the developer community will > be something we pay a lot of attention to. Carefully done, > open-sourcing could actually promote interoperability by making it > easier for disparate groups to align behind one code base. * Fleury pulls back: http://crn.channelsupersearch.com/news/crn/49878.asp > Would open-sourcing [Java]--and the loss of control from Sun that it > entails--work? I don't know. Obviously, they're talking about, 'Oh, > if we do open source, then Sun would still control the > compatibility.' I still have to see a net positive value, and it > hasn't been articulated by any one of the proponents in any > convincing fashion. _______________________________________________ Juglist mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://trijug.org/mailman/listinfo/juglist_trijug.org
