Sun Set To Move On GPL License For Open-Source Java
,----[ Quote ]
| The GPL is an intriguing and controversial choice. By requiring
| derivative works to also be released as open source, the GPL
| discourages commercial forking -- a consequence that fits well
| with Sun's stated goal of preserving Java's cross-platform
| compatibility. However, a GPL license would require those making
| changes to the core Java platform to freely release their code.

Canonical seems to have formed strong relationships wit Google and Sun

Oracle and Novell/MS was not enough for the past fortnight.
