Quoting Niclas Hedhman <[email protected]>:
I happen to be an Apache Member, and follow this case closely. It is
far from childish, as ASF only ask Sun to honor the JSPA (the
agreement that all Java Community Process members have to follow) and
not have "field of use restrictions" on their specifications.
Interestingly, Oracle (among many other Executive Committee members)
has supported ASF in the quest for this, but as they resumed control
of Java, there has not been a word on the topic, not in either
direction...
Considering Oracle's recent lawsuit on Google, I doubt that they are
now interested in providing the Java specs/tck without the field of
use restrictions.
Aha, pretty interesting to hear that. Thanks for the insight. :) Too
bad to hear about Oracle's bailout, even though I kinda expected that
as I was reading your response. Oh well, guess it's time to bury the
optimistic expectations and wait till 2012 (at least).
Always these big companies and their policies getting in a way of
sensible path of development... *sigh*.
