I guess somewhere RMS is grinning from ear to ear.
- bigmac 16y agoI wonder if you're right... To the casual observer this seems to undermine the GPL.
- mhd 16y agoI'm not talking about RMS priming the lawyers, I'm talking about his general stance about patent-laden, open-source-but-not-really technologies. He must feel vindicated today. As many other said before, the fact that OpenJDK is GPL licensed doesn't mean anything for Dalvik.
- hasenj 16y agoI think he's referring to how he can use this incident to brag about how he's right with his views on open-source-but-not-really-free stuff.
- code_duck 16y agoOr, he could use this incident to demonstrate how he's right with his views on open-source-but-not-really-free stuff.
- stuff4ben 16y agoI don't know; he's been warning people about shit like this for years and no one seems to care. If anything I'd bet he's feeling a little like Sarah Conner before Skynet goes sentient.
- doki_pen 16y agoWhy? Rms has endorsed java since it went gpl. Goggles jvm is not gpl. If the used the gpl java then they might have less problems. I'm guessing Rms does not support either party here.
