Bonus: Duke is Open Sourced! Newsgroups: java.net JavaDesktop Features Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 00:00:00 I'm really happy that after months of arguing and analysis, we finally agreed on using the GPL version 2 with the classpath exception as the license for JavaSE. We're also taking the first couple of baby steps in getting actual source code relicensed. All of it will follow, eventually. But there's a lot of work to do, like migrating millions of lines of code from TeamWare to Mercurial. For extra bonus fun, we're open sourcing Duke. -- Bill Wohler http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD
