Open Source Java: So What Now?

<1 min read

Cédric has written a nice piece, titled Open sourcing Java: nobody cares. I agree wholeheartedly, easy licensing is much more important than open sourcing at this point. Sun is making some progress on the licensing front, the new DLJ is a definite step forward.

Jonathan announced that Sun wants to open source Java, but there're not sure how. Looks like another one of my predictions is coming true.

Same here. I don't see much benefit in open sourcing Java. In fact I can cite few reasons why it may actually harm Java.
