Cocktail "Free Java"
Simon Phipps, director of open source projects at Sun Microsystems, promised on Monday that absolutely all Java parts will be released under the GPL license by the end of the year. To do this, the company will have to rewrite the part of the code responsible for working with sound. The rights to it in the distribution OpenJDK today are owned by an unnamed company that does not want to distribute its creation under an open source license.
Since last May, when OpenJDK came out, Sun has already managed to negotiate with another partner, Codec, which has written modules for working with raster graphics for Java.
Another important milestone passed this week on the road to Java release: the OpenJDK implementation, part of Fedora 9, passed all Sun tests and is now fully compatible with Java SE 6. This is the result of the Red Hat project called IcedTea. In the future, this implementation will be included in the corporate distributions of Enterprise Linux from a US company.
