i read the article and my understanding is that they are only
changing the license on the implementation. wasn't the main issue
of critics with java is that sun controls what goes into the java
standard/specification? doesn't (ibm|blackdown|...) have their own
implementation of the java standard, or are they just forks of the
sun implementation?
Correction please. The Java Community Process controls the
specification. Sun heads most of the JSRs but unlike closed
standards, Sun listens to the community.
Apple has its own implementation. Apache will be releasing one as
well. Microsoft has one. IBM has one, too.
