Sun and Google shook hands and decided Java was a super awesome standard that everyone should be able to adopt for free. Yay!
Sure, Sun sold Java (and the farm) to Oracle, but what if IBM sold SQL to Google? Do the same takesie-backsies apply?
- flomo 7y agoTotally untrue. Sun had all sorts of legal contracts committees and procedures and testing suites to manage java forking into different environments. Sun sued Microsoft for $1 BILLION dollars for violating their Java license. Sun and Google had negotiations about licensing Java, and they certainly did not end with shaking hands. Old post, so just saying this guy is factual-free.
