Java licensing changes.

Comments[0] by Dave in Java
Granted that I have not really been following this story since the Apache Sun relationship first blew up, this sounds like an important story:
"Starting Tuesday, it will be mandatory that licenses provide for the possibility of a clean-room implementation," said Onno Kluyt, manager of the JCP Program Office. "A specification leader must offer a test suite independently of the reference implementation. It is required, going forward, that the test suite be available free of charge so that organizations like Apache don't face the hurdle of a license fee."
