How does this revoke the open source nature of the OpenJDK?
- imglorp 8y agoIt doesn't, rather I think Oracle's plan will end up driving people towards OpenJDK. It looks like they're firing their pesky B, C, D, and F customers and keeping their A ones, ie the ones who will pay millions in maintenance. The rest of us, who are currently tied to Sun Java for its stability and who aren't going to pay big maintenance, will have to switch to OpenJDK if we want stability. It's either that or constantly port every 6 months, and pray all the kabillion dependencies we have work okay.
