Java boat is now 100% lifted
Subject line is inspired by Jonathan Schwartz’s post outlining Sun’s decision to open source Java. Sun decided to use GPL license to open source Java. This is a very bold move by Sun and they deserve big credit for this step.
They are probably right in claiming that they have contributed more to open source than all the big players they compete against.
If only they can fix the problem of showing up when it really matters. They were day late with XML, day late with Solaris and now may be few quarters late with Java.
Though metaphor used by Jonathan got me thinking as to what will happen when open source tide settles down as a regular mainstream phenomena?
