SUN决定开源JAVA

今天打开抓吓
知道了

地铁上买了份环球时报 知道美国的共和党失落了。

哈哈， 这个世界真的越来越精彩了。

网上有人说慎用Novell的Linux,我反对。
我们应该相信，其实比尔真的是一个好人。
真的，我们应该相信。
有一天微软也会放弃Windows。
起码我们应该看到，Bill总是明智的。
大道如天

狠，直接GPL

是啊，一步到位
呵呵

GPL 是不是意味着所有用java开发出来的都必须开源了？GCC当初为了避免这个问题才选择的LGPL的。

SUN用的是自己定义的license

Does the GPL allow me to distribute a modified or beta version under a nondisclosure agreement?
    No. The GPL says that anyone who receives a copy of your version from you has the right to redistribute copies (modified or not) of that version. It does not give you permission to distribute the work on any more restrictive basis.


Does the GPL allow me to develop a modified version under a nondisclosure agreement?
    Yes. For instance, you can accept a contract to develop changes and agree not to release your changes until the client says ok. This is permitted because in this case no GPL-covered code is being distributed under an NDA.

    You can also release your changes to the client under the GPL, but agree not to release them to anyone else unless the client says ok. In this case, too, no GPL-covered code is being distributed under an NDA, or under any additional restrictions.

    The GPL would give the client the right to redistribute your version. In this scenario, the client will probably choose not to exercise that right, but does have the right.

应该没这么霸道吧，我记得它要求的是：使用GPL授权的软件，要保证用户可以得到这个软件的源码；对GPL授权的软件所作的修改，应说明修改的部分，也要保证用户可以得到这些修改过的源码。

不知道我有没有理解错：



分别摘自英文版和中文译版。

**mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program......**
这句话如何理解?
不过我认为，如果你不做编译器，只是用Java开发应用程序，大可放心。

开源协议太乱了，特别是GPL。

因为那是唐僧肉，哈哈
