Recently, Sun reopened a license - Java Research License (JRL) and issued two new licenses - the Java Distribution license (JDL) and the Java Internal Use license (JIUL, pronunciation "jewel"). The former aims to provide a simpler license rule to encourage developers to develop commercial Java products, and the wakes the purpose of replacing the current J2SE business license and companies for Sun's Java users.
In this regard, SUN and the outside world have different sounds.
Jean Elliott, J2SE's supervisor, told reporters: "We hope to see that business licenses will eventually disappear like human tails, because we feel that it is too complicated."
SUN's Matt Thompson, the head of the top technology and the open source program, said in the technical exchange discussion group called "Empowering Software R & D with open communities" last week, "Just now, you can use Java due to non-commercial purposes. The source code is a great thing you think, unless you call it, but also it is also Java. If you do, we have trouble.
This suggests that JDJ's Bill Dudney, who specializes in JDJ News Desk: "I have been prepared to see this release. In Javaone, Sun has not seen what benefits Java more open. I think I think They are wrong, I am very happy to hear that the pressure of opening Java is clearly launched to the direction. "
