Since nobody else answered so far: Because the open-source implementations aren't up to speed yet. Freenet is using the "NIO" API for asynchronous I/O and that API is not or not well supported by kaffe and gcj (the two most likely contenders for being able to run Freenet). I seem to recall that Freenet actually compiles on one of those systems but doesn't run because of bugs in NIO. There is interest on getting this to work, but the #1 priority of the (currently scarce) contributors is to get Freenet to work better on the most correct JVM implementation. Since a substantial fraction of Freenet nodes are running on Windows the open-source argument is a bit moot, too. And finally, the source of Java is available, even if it is not open source proper. -Hein _______________________________________________ chat mailing list chat at freenetproject.org Archived: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.general Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chat Or mailto:chat-request at freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
