Re: [RFC-DRAFT] Debian-Java point of view about JDK under the GPL
[Arnaud Vandyck] Any other thoughts? I believe this is a good idea. I have tried to get someone in the debian-edu community to write a press release announcing our support for this license change, but am not sure if anyone will pick up the ball. I believe it is important to get the press to write about how this change is received, to encourage other companies to do the same. Is there a wiki page with the text draft?
