Sun's Open Source Java Moves Are Bold, Smart, and Limited
,----[ Quote ]
| With the HotSpot JVM now being available under a GPLv2 license, the
| developers of those platforms can now port the de facto standard
| Java interpreter to their platforms, and get high levels of
| interoperability and performance essentially for free, without
| needing to develop their own JVMs (which are almost always
| saddled with some kind of interoperability and/or performance
| problems), and without having to negotiate complicated
| redistribution licenses from Sun.
