These seems really important and cool. I only wish I knew how to expand a platform!

Unlike Solaris and J2EE, which were released under the Common Development and Distribution License, Sun has opted to release the source code for Java Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) and Mobile Edition (J2ME) under the venerable GPL. It will be taking the "classpath exception" to the license, however, which will allow companies and developers who make Java programs to release their software under different licensing, including closed-source ones. Sun's Jonathan Schwartz and Rich Green will be making a webcast at 9:20 a.m. PT today, which can be seen at <A href="http://www.sun.com/opensource/java">sun.com/opensource/java</A>, which is also where you'll be able to find the source code and other resources. Sun's Tim Bray provides a few more details on what's in store <A href="http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2006/11/12/OSS-Java">in his blog</A>.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/700E26BD-5136-4632-BC16-FC0FE0387A39/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
