I found a good discussion on Open Source licensing. It is a Sun white paper , so talks about Sun's open source licensing policies and all, but the author has managed to convey the message very clearly. He has categorized the FOSS licenses into three and clearly listed the pros and cons of each of them, and how, where and why Sun has used the licenses from each category. A good read indeed. ~Mks

Went to /. after a long time today, rss aggregation has changed the way you browse. The site has changed its look and feel and for better. And the news/update is that Sun has moved a step further in making Java open source. The first lot (JavaC and Hotspot VM) will happen in October this year. Read more at vnunet and Sun's java community website Open Sourcing the JDK . ~mks
