23.11.04 09:20 Open Letter to Sun from Eric Raymond ( , , , )

Kevin Bedell give some citations of the Open Letter to Sun from Eric Raymond about Java and Bazar.

Here are the most important things on my point of view:

  • Eric: "The essence of the bazaar is not voting ... but the right to fork"
  • About open sourcing Solaris: "Mr. Schwartz's time would be better spent explaining why he thinks those reasons don't apply to Java"
  • BM is going to release a fully open-source JRE and class libraries within the next year
