Java Linux/Solaris Licensing
Posted by Michael Larabel on May 16, 2006
With today's open-source announcement of Java by Sun Microsystems, they have also announced the recast of Java licensing for GNU/Linux and OpenSolaris communities. The new license allows distributors to include Java SE 5.0 Java Development Kit and Java Runtime Environment as installable packages. Among the projects already after including Java with their software is Ubuntu, Debian distributions, Gentoo, NexentaOS, Schillix, and BeleniX -- many more announcements are expected soon. More information is in the Sun press release.
