I’m a bit surprise to get this news late… this is a very bad news…and very bad way of ending 2010…
This is complete BS…
“Java specifications are proprietary technology that must be licensed directly from the spec lead under whatever terms the spec lead chooses”
“that it is impossible to distribute independent implementations of JSRs under open source licenses such that users are protected from IP litigation by expert group members or the spec lead”
This means that if Oracle…invents new JSR then the licensing is completely up to them…No open source community are allowed to implement the spec… wow… what a crap way to get rid opensource wares…they are ELIMINATING the competition… This is complete BS!!!
I never thought that the Apache also has a blog. Nice. Thank you for sharing.
