From: Charles Oliver Nutter Date: 2006-11-14T02:50:51+09:00 Subject: Sun Opens Java Under GPL If you haven't heard about this, you haven't been paying attention :) But here it is anyway... http://www.sun.com/2006-1113/feature/index.jsp I know it's not strictly Ruby-related, but it does mean that JRuby will now have a best-class open-source JVM under it. So other than prejudices folks might have about the design of Java or the JVM, there's now no political reason why you couldn't run JRuby on a typical OSS system. Anyway, exciting news for Sun, Java, and everyone with a stake in such things. -- Charles Oliver Nutter, JRuby Core Developer Blogging on Ruby and Java @ headius.blogspot.com Help spec out Ruby today! @ www.headius.com/rubyspec headius@headius.com -- charles.nutter@sun.com
