It's now been announced on Sun and Slashdot -- check it
out. Basically, they'll release it under the MPL, without the browser
and the compiler. Release expected in two months.
What I find most interesting about Sun's Open Source flirt is their
Industry Standard Source License
<http://soldc.sun.com/tools/licensefaq2.html>, which looks like a
non-copylefted Open Source license except that it appears to attempt
to make sure that anyone who changes the actual API or protocols has
to publish the new API or protocol. Right now something called TI-RPC
is licensed with it. This smells of a possible future Java license to
me. Ideas?
