Is this timed with the Supreme Court decision? Would we be seeing this if the decision had gone the other way? Obviously they didn’t put all this together since Tuesday, but the timing makes me wonder.
- Apofis 6y agoIt has to be. I'm assuming they used this internally until now.
- bigmattystyles 6y agoWould internal use have even been legal if the decision had gone Oracle's way?
- gaius_baltar 6y ago> Would internal use have even been legal if the decision had gone Oracle's way? OpenJDK is GPL, so I suppose yes. I also understand that the cause for Oracle-Google lawsuit predates the GPL JDK (Google does not like GPL on Android userland after all), so its an entirely different problem. Of course, IANAL.
- kaba0 6y agoIt has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of JVM vendors already. You either pass the test suite and call it Java, or don’t call it Java. Also, it is a fork of OpenJDK, so the test suite is free even. The point of all this is that the platform doesn’t get fragmented, one can trivially migrate from one VM to another. J++ was sued to oblivion for adding Windows only features.
