Sun utilizará GPL em Java O.S

[velo]

GPL is so open source, in fact, that many are concerned to use GPL-based packages in their own technology. The myth is that if you use any GPL technology in your product, then your product will be ?infected? by legal provisions in the GPL, and you will be required to open source your technology under the same terms as the GPL technology you incorporated. While it is true that GPL has provisions that may have consequences for your GPL-based products, it is not nearly as simple as the viral infection myth that appears to have originated within corridors of a certain software giant located in Redmond, Washington. For an excellent overview of this issue and several related issues, I highly recommend the article ?10 common misunderstandings about the GPL? by Bruce Byfield. If it is true that GPL will govern the core Java platform, then you?ll most likely want to have a better sense of what that may mean to you.

E, pelo amor de o que quer que seja que vc considere mais sagrado, ‘quiser’ eh com ‘s’.

toda linguagem é, por padrão, algo aberto. O que vai ser GPL é a VM e o compilador… não muda nada para quem desenvolve.

Na verdade só muda algo para os xiitas que não querem distribuir a VM junto com o Linux pq não bate com a definição deles de open-source.
