It's official. Sun "is releasing its implementations of Java technology as free software under the GNU General Public License version two (GPLv2). Available today, [Editor's note: actually tomorrow, Monday] are the first pieces of source code for Sun's implementation of Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE) and a buildable implementation of Java Platform Micro Edition (Java ME). Details are available at: at http://www.sun.com/opensource/java. In addition, Sun is adding the GPLv2 license to Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE), which has been available for over a year under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) through Project GlassFish(TM) at http://glassfish.dev.java.net." I've been saying this would happen sooner or later for the last ten years, and I'm glad it's finally sooner than later. More details tomorrow.
