+<h2>The Curious Incident of Sun in the Night-Time</h2>
+
+<p><i>We leave this web page in place for the sake of history,
+but as of December 2006, Sun is in the middle of <a
+href="http://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-welcomes-gpl-java.html">rereleasing
+its Java platform under the GNU GPL</a>. When this license change is
+completed, we expect Sun's Java will be free software.</i></p>
+
+ <p>
+ by <a href="http://www.stallman.org/">Richard M.
Stallman</a><br />
+ May 24, 2006.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Our community has been abuzz with the rumor that Sun has made
+ its implementation Java free software (or “open
+ source”). Community leaders even publicly thanked Sun
+ for its contribution. What is Sun's new contribution to the
+ FLOSS community?
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Nothing. Absolutely nothing—and that's what makes the
+ response to this non-incident so curious.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Sun's Java implementation remains proprietary software, just
+ as before. It doesn't come close to meeting the criteria for
+ <a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software</a>, or
the
+ similar but slightly looser criteria for open source. Its
+ source code is available only under an NDA.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ So what did Sun actually do? It allowed more convenient
+ redistribution of the binaries of its Java platform. With
+ this change, GNU/Linux distros can include the nonfree Sun
+ Java platform, just as some now include the nonfree nVidia
+ driver. But they do so only at the cost of being nonfree.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The Sun license has one restriction that may ironically
+ reduce the tendency for users to accept nonfree software
+ without thinking twice: it insists that the operating system
+ distributor get the user's explicit agreement to the license
+ before letting the user install the code. This means the
+ system cannot silently install Sun's Java platform without
+ warning users they have nonfree software, as some GNU/Linux
+ systems silently install the nVidia driver.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If you look closely at Sun's announcement, you will see that
+ it accurately represents these facts. It does not say that
+ Sun's Java platform is free software, or even open source. It
+ only predicts that the platform will be “widely
+ available” on “leading open source
+ platforms”. Available, that is, as proprietary
+ software, on terms that deny your freedom.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Why did this non-incident generate a large and confused
+ reaction? Perhaps because people do not read these
+ announcements carefully. Ever since the term “open
+ source” was coined, we have seen companies find ways to
+ use it and their product name in the same sentence. (They
+ don't seem to do this with “free software”,
+ though they could if they wanted to.) The careless reader
+ may note the two terms in proximity and falsely assume that
+ one talks about the other.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Some believe that this non-incident represents Sun's
+ exploratory steps towards eventually releasing its Java
+ platform as free software. Let's hope Sun does that some
+ day. We would welcome that, but we should save our
+ appreciation for the day that actually occurs. In the mean
+ time, the <a href="/philosophy/java-trap.html">Java
Trap</a>
+ still lies in wait for the work of programmers who don't take
+ precautions to avoid it.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ We in the GNU Project continue developing the
+ <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/java/">GNU Compiler for Java and
+ GNU Classpath</a>; we made great progress in the past year,
+ so our free platform for Java is included in many major
+ GNU/Linux distros. If you want to run Java and have freedom,
+ please join in and help.
