The world has changed

If you have a look at various `news services`_ and `Sun.COM`_ right now, you’ll see that the world has changed. I for one never really figured that Sun would choose the `GPL v2`_ to license `Java`_.

I’m quite happy to be proved wrong.

No, scratch that. I’m ecstatic to be proved wrong.

It’s going be damned interesting to see how the “Sun is evil because they won’t GPL Java” crowd respond now. Especially `IBM`_ and `HP`_. Sun has now placed under `open source licenses`_ its `flagship cpu`_, its `OS`_ and now `Java`_. I don’t see an open-sourced AIX or HPUX. I don’t see an open-sourced Power or HP-PA (let alone DEC Alpha!) chip.

Come on IBM and HP, where are the actions to match the rhetoric?
