IBM demand more free pie...

More free pie demanded from free pie shop

Tim Bray on OSS Java

Tim Bray gives us the nitty gritty of the GPLing of Java

GPL Java....

GPL Java, but not as Stallman will like it.

Which is good, as I can carry on using it. The Classpath Exception is the giant condom on the code, allowing for safe GPL usage by basically nailing the virality of the GPL in a dynamically linked environment.

But the first idiots who fork it 'just cos they can' should be hunted down and beaten with cluesticks, big cluesticks.

And hussah for it being GPL v2; who needs GPL v3 with it's anti-DRM agenda embedded in it?
