Java to Be Open Sourced Under GPL
Filed in archive Application Development by gautam on November 12, 2006

Already JEE has been made available under the Sun's CDDL through Project GlassFish. This is being regarded as one of the largest source code contributions under the GPL license. This announcement is just opposite of what former Sun CEO Scott McNealy had said once that there was no point in offering an open source implementation.
Rich Green, Executive V.P, Sun said:
By open-sourcing Sun's implementation of Java technology, we will inspire a new phase of developer collaboration and innovation using the NetBeans IDE [Integrated Development Environment] and expect the java platformto be the foundation infrastructure for next generation Internet, desktop, mobile and enterprise applications.
