This sounds like potentially the same licensing/business model that was used with Inprise for the Linux port. If I recall correctly, at that time Sun also spoke of a need for a legal entity. Thankfully, BSDi's press release is only 1/2 the story: it is augmented by discussions for an "official" port, and that is certainly good news :) Apparently there is not yet any contractual arrangement between Sun and BSDi, :( which explains some of the vagueness of the BSDi press release. Looking forward to more info ... ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
