Yeah. It means FreeBSD gets to provide the standard Java distribution -- which is now OpenJDK -- free to use, and without itself having to stump up thousands of dollars via the FreeBSD Foundation simply for a place at the table. This is Java coming into line with the other big languages of the Internet age (perl, python, php, etc.), casting off the restrictive licensing it had hobbled itself with initially and so enabling itself to succeed in a way commensurate with its technical quality[*]. diablo-jdk was an unfortunate necessity for a while. It no longer is, and that's really good news. Cheers, Matthew [*] GPLv2 rather than a BSD-style license, but still a big step forwards.= --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enigC7D95BA96642EEE9AC6A0BB9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.16 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7uRvEACgkQ8Mjk52CukIzbAgCfX4EVEEg0Az17cO8Jnm/GdmPo Kj0An0N8c0w9xgUCm78aLcK/Q04rw2La =jir7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC7D95BA96642EEE9AC6A0BB9--
