Monday June 27, 2005 Glassfish, weird postings and software religion
Late last week, John mentioned this posting of Marc Fleury's when he and I were talking about Glassfish. I wanted to respond, but I knew our guys were still working on Glassfish, and things would change. For those who don't know, Glassfish, the RI of the next J2EE, is now open source under the CDDL license.
So the weird part of the posting to me is Marc felt strongly enough to post about something he claims to have thought irrelevant. If it's irrelavent, then why post? Marc: now that the licencing terms have changed to what Sun wanted to do all along will you reconsider your words?
My guess is no.
I've seen this before. Why does Marc appear to be threatened? If what he says is true (it's not) then why are you threatened by more open source code? Could it be that Marc (and some others) have crossed to the religion threshold? You see this in the Linux arena: people so rabidly pro-Linux that anything that isn't Linux, in their eyes, is bad and should be attacked.
Leave the religion behind Marc.
