Open Source Software, Standards, and Java
,----[ Quote ]
| Sun Microsystems recently announced its intentions of finally publishing
| Java under an Open Source license. But what does that actually mean? We'll
| take a quick look at what it means to be "Open Source," how the Java
| language specification compares to other more formal language standards,
| and the importance of the brand and certification programs. We'll then
| look at what benefits Sun may get from distributing Java as Open Source
| and at some of the problems that will have to be addressed.
