You're speculating no fees paid to Oracle?
"J2EE" does not suggest Oracle in any way?
My understanding is that companies that license proprietary software are heavily involved in writing these open standards. Incorrect?
Please forgive my ignorance re: Java.
I think Moore was writing about drivers written in C.
Is the GP's story about programmers at a hardware company?
Does it matter that most of the comments are about high-level programming, not writing drivers?
Just wondering...
- logn 11y agoJ2EE would imply Oracle. But there are no fees implied. Additionally, most of the Java libraries have a linking exception to prevent any GPL licensing from affecting other components. Granted, there could be fees if you're redistributing Java or embedding it on mobile hardware. It's all like this because that's how Sun did it for many years and Oracle can't/won't upset that momentum. Proprietary vendors have had a large part in writing these open standards, but they're mostly interested in creating a standardized, free commons. GP's story is not about programmers at a hardware company, and it's probably not directly applicable to colorForth.
