Despite the wording of the announcement, Graal and Truffle have been open source under permissive licenses for a long time now. The "donation" is from one open source project run by Oracle to another. Confusing, indeed, but Oracle is a big company. So it's been possible license-wise for a long time.
- bluejekyll 4y agoIn the announcement it sounds like they are planning to change the license in some manner, “Will the GraalVM license change? The plan is to align all the GraalVM technologies with Java both from a release perspective and from a licensing perspective. Additional details will follow in the coming months as we move forward through this process.”
