I think that opening Java for real has nothing to do with it ;). Whether it's completely open or not, it's only distribution issue AFAIK - how you are allowed to distribute you modifications and binaries. http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsddom/java/index.html exists quite a long time already. The real issue (as always) is whether someone did/will do some real work to get Java working on DragonFly? Whatever license is, it doesn't give us human resources ;) -- Hasso Tepper
