Does Oracle still not realize that there's no-one in the entire FOSS community that trusts them?
To Oracle: If you want to get our trust back, you need to do these two things:
1) Drop your stupid patent dick-waving against Google
2) Open source Java proper
Then, and only then, will we talk.
- Lewisham 16y agoYeah, that was a wonderful statement which TLDR; to "nuh-uh!" rather than any actual addressing of the issues.
- BonoboBoner 16y agoAs much as I would love to see that happen, it wont. What is developer trust and why does Oracle care? As long as CIOs trust Oracle to run their business on Oracle products, they are fine.
- hga 16y agoHmmm, I have to wonder. E.g. when will "Javaschools" (for which I'll include MIT since it's a Python and Java school) switch to something else? Not any time soon (new curriculum development is expensive and very political), not even in the foreseeable future ... but when I started playing this game (1977) lower tier schools were teaching FORTRAN and COBOL. That situation did not last forever.
