[LI] Linux faces first..........

[Raj Mathur <raju@xxxxxxx>]

Hi SK,

Moving this discussion to Linux-India-General...

Uh, if their licensing is their standard Community Public License,
then it's nowhere near open source or free software.  The license does 
not permit you to modify and freely redistribute the source, so
control stays with the originating company (Sun, in this case).  For
an example of hos this works, look at the way they screwed
Blackdown.Org in the case of Java porting to Linux.

Regards,
