That's the important thing to get across to Sun - that there are other things that will ensure compatibility like 'the market' (no one wants a broken java... people have too much invested in their Java deployments), the power of the Java brand (you can't call your software 'Java' unless you pass the TCK), etc. [snip] > CDDL is an example of clever lawyer work to modernize best licensing > practices, but those are best practices in protection not in social > empowerment! I don't understand that. Do you see the CDDL as somehow restricting communities? I think that CDDL is a reasonable license, and if I wasn't allowed to use a BSD-style license for whatever reason, I'd go that way... geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
