Sun Releases First GPLed Java Source
December 26, 2006 Leave a comment
A quick (belated) follow up to a story I previously covered. Sun has now officially released part of Java under the GPL. phoneME, which has previously been called J2ME, is now available for download with a GPLv2 license. The supported platforms are Linux/ARM, Linux/x86 and Windows/i386. Many seemed to guess that J2SE would be released first, but I'm sure that's coming soon. Once again kudos to Sun for making the decision they did.
