RE: [JBoss-dev] That flaming fireball in the sky...
Here's the full quote. What the hell is WORA? Marinescu: What is Sun's point of view in the debate over whether J2EE licensing restricts open source J2EE products? Shannon: Sun participates in open source because it helps spark innovation, improve software quality, and fosters community. The source code for the J2EE reference implementation is made available publicly as part of the Sun Community Source Licensing program. Sun supports open source developers because their efforts are consistent with Sun's own computing vision which uses open standards and non-proprietary interfaces. Sun's goal is to make our software as open as possible while ensuring portability and WORA. Tegan: At the same time, having a strong brand and compatibility standards are important to the development of a robust market for J2EE platform products, tools, and components. The J2EE Compatible brand has achieved significant momentum over the past two years, and we want to make sure that any open source efforts don't impact the viability of that effort. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of marc fleury Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 2:16 AM To: Dain Sundstrom; Jboss-Development@Lists.
