,----[ Quote ]
| One of the biggest challenges I face throughout is helping
| people to understand that working with community and Free and
| Open Source Software is not orthogonal to profitability. It is
| possible to be profitable and be responsible, as well.
| 
| Opening up software to a community does not mean that we are
| giving it away. It actually means that we are sharing with
| others in innovating and being successful.

Sun likes what it sees in the new GPL

,----[ Quote ]
| And regarding Java, Schwartz said in an interview: "We did version 2
| with Java because version 3 wasn't out. When we have version 3, Java
| will likely go to 3."
| 
| Sun is considering the GPLv3 because it wants to appeal to developers
| who favor the GPL. Another factor is a patent protection expected to
| feature in the new version of the license, Schwartz added.

Will GPLv3 energize Free Software, or marginalize the FSF?

,----[ Quote ]
| As written, GPLv3 threatens to fork GNU projects and marginalize 
| the Free Software Foundation, writes Linux observer Bill Weinberg
| in this well-written essay. Drawing on long experience
| evangelizing open source licensing to business users, Weinberg
| suggests that the FSF's GPLv3 high road could be a lonesome one.

Will Sun Use GPLv3?

,----[ Quote ]
| First of all, Sun has been engaged directly in the GPL v3 process
| since it started. My colleagues and I attended the launch conference
| in Cambridge, MA at the start of 2006 - I even logged the
| conversation with my friend and collaborator Danese Cooper of Intel.
