Sun Opens Java
Today is a great day for Sun and the Java developer community. As part of our effort to open source all our software over time we announced that the whole Java Platform will be free software under the GPL licence! This means that as Linux our Java software can be used, modified and redistributed. GPL is probably one of the licences allowing most freedom for handling open software.
Read Jonathan's Blog on this, he calls it “A rising tide lifts all boats” or fueling the network effect. Java runs on more devices than Microsoft Windows, Linux, Solaris, Symbian and the Mac combined. It runs on 8 out of 10 cell phones. By open sourcing Java, Sun drives down the barriers to adoption of the Java Platform in the Internet. “Volume drives Value”: the more developers, devices and new services are on the internet, the more demand there is for the network innovation Sun is creating.
