I did some more checking (look at the time of the email)..
It seems 80% chances that if this (netbeans) will be released as source
code - it will be SCSL license - Sun got there some heavy Java 2 code
built in - which itself is under SCSL license (if I'm not mistaken)..
This product seems a direct competitor to JBuilder 3 (which should be
out soon) - so Sun here competes (if I understand correctly) with
Inprise/Borland with this product - not the best idea to do..
Thanks
