[News] Sun Microsystems to Choose GPL for Open Source Java?

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 wellw
| ith 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.
