It's possible that if IBM acquired Sun, Big Blue would move Java towards a multi-licensed approach and potentially put it under the Apache Software License in addition to the GPL. This would make it easier for Sun's Java technology to be integrated into existing open source Java implementations, such as the Apache Harmony project, and it would also make it easier for Java to be repurposed by third parties for proprietary uses." http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2009/03/report-ibm-eyes-sun.ars The SFLC suits are having an effect -- just not the one they hoped for. As more and more companies move away from "free software" to "open source software" the FSF propaganda campaign is falling flat on its ass. Sincerely, Rjack :)You have it backwards. When *sun* licenses software, IBM likes apache/ BSD type licenses. When *IBM* licenses software, ie gnu/linux, IBM likes the gpl.You Freetards never learn. For Christ's sake, IBM was the World's first viscous computer monopolist. How soon Freetards forget! IBM likes anything that enhances their bottom line. Freetards are Micro$oft's enemy. IBM like Al Quaeda, believes "My enemy's enemy is my friend." IBM wrote the first edition book on computer monopoly practices. Micro$oft simply read that book and wrote the second edition. IBM will behead its Freetard friends the very second its becomes profitable to do so. I am utterly amazed at you Freetard sheep lying in bed with a Tyranasaurus like IBM. Big Blue knows the GPL is unenforceable and will wipe your Freetard asses with it the moment it's profitable to do so.And here we have, folks: The dumbest post so far this year Time to create a new "award". I propose "The DFS-award".It should be awarded regularly to those who are incredibly stupid and full of shit. Rjack has all of those
Must have struck a nerve, huh Petey?
