Java open sourced
If you have not heard by now, well yes, Java and its innards has been open sourced after a year or two of Sun talking about it. Sun has put up a Open Source Java site with regards to this under their Open Source page.
There are comments from the community such as those from Java as well and different Open Source proponents around the world (includes Richard Stallman, Mark Shuttleworth, Tim O’Reilly and others) , including multimedia content on Flash or Ogg.
It’s pretty encouraging to see another development of support of open source initiatives by Sun, among the larger computer companies. We have already seen great open source support from IBM, Novell & Google. Gee, I really wonder who’s next…
