Was java anything other than a money pit for sun to dump cash into?
Did
anybody ever pay for it?
Yes - for instance, all the cell phone makers who paid Sun to license
Java for their cell phones.
It was dumb of me to assume nobody pays for java - just as it is sometimes dumb
when people assume nobody pays for solaris.
Out of curiosity (and I know this is OT) ... Java is free to use, develop on,
and distribute. What do people pay for?
When a cell phone mfgr pays for java, what are they using, that wasn't
available for free?
The brand? Support?
