ZDnet a écrit:"Will we GPL Solaris? We want to ensure we can interact with the GPL community and the Mozilla community and the BSD community," Schwartz said, referring to three major open source licences. "I don't think we've been as effective as I'd like to be in going after the GPL community, because there's an awful lot of really bright people who think that's the licence they prefer. That discussion is incredibly central to recruiting more developers around the world."
And regarding Java, Schwartz said in an interview: "We did version 2 with Java because version 3 wasn't out. When we have version 3, Java will likely go to 3."
Sun is considering the GPLv3 because it wants to appeal to developers who favor the GPL. Another factor is a patent protection expected to feature in the new version of the licence, Schwartz added.
QuebecOS a écrit:L'attrait de Sun pour la licence v3 de la GPL et notamment dus à la présence de la protection de brevet que ne permet pas la version 2 actuel. S'ouvrir au monde de l'open source est vital aujourd'hui pour cette entreprise qui cherche à trouver les meilleurs compromis avec l'ensemble de la communauté...
