I like it when they write software that replaces stuff that isn't openly available, but Sun has been making the entire Java thing as open as anyone could possibly wish for. The fact that they found a way to do this and make money isn't bad, it's a great stroke of good luck, and the free software world (you and I) want to encourage this stuff. The GNU people haven't made this any more open, they've only made it obvious to Sun that their own copyright is nearly worthless, because GNU is going to follow on and turn it into a copyleft. Seeing as what Sun is doing (and IBM too!) is so out of the ordinary, and great for software hackers like us, I just wish those GNU guys would go attack a different target. I want to encourage Sun and IBM, not insult them. Note I moved this to -chat, because it's non-technical.
