So, I was reading some of Sun's licensing agreements (I know that's
weird), and I noticed this:
1. Software Internal Use and Development License Grant. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
Section 4 (Java Technology Restrictions) of these Supplemental Terms,
Sun grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to
reproduce internally and use internally the binary form of the Software,
complete and unmodified, for the sole purpose of designing, developing
and testing your Java applets and applications ("Programs"), provided
that you do not redistribute the Software in whole or in part, either
separately or included with any Programs.
Is JBoss in violation of this since they redistribute the j2ee.jar with
JBoss? Now, IANAL but it sounds like Sun has made it pretty clear that
I as a J2EE developer can use the j2ee technologies for development
without any problems, but a J2EE app server would have to license the
j2ee technologies in order to have a server implement them. I am just
curious. Thanks JBoss, You guys still are the best!
