is excellent news. I think this is a witness to the fact that Sun is
beginning to see the writing on the wall for them. The GPL is really
the only way to give Java a life of its own under the direction of
Sun,
but outside of Sun. It's really the only way to combat .Net.
I don't really think this is going to change anything for the
foreseeable future. Java will still very much be run by Sun. I
suppose it's nice insurance in case Sun were to go under, though. I
don't see any other real impact, though I may easily be missing
something big.
