Dave Johnson on social software, open source and Java

Java Libre

I got together with Sun co-worker Tom Marble (and here) for dinner last night. We went to a nice Cuban restaurant called Cuba Libre only a short walk from the hotel. Shortly after we arrived, we just happened to run into Apache Harmony folks Geir Magnusson and Tim Ellison (from IBM Hursley). A little later Sara Dornsife showed up. We had a nice dinner and enjoyed the mojitos. If you know Tom and Gier, then you can probably guess the #1 topic of conversation. We talked about the pros and cons of various open source licenses for Java, the Linux ecosystem vs. the Java ecosystem, secret sauce and fair playing fields. All-and-all a very interesting conversation, but good grief, it's a complex issue -- I'm glad I'm not the one making that decision.
