Hello,
To shade some light on the ongoing open source Java
discussion I invite you to cast your vote in the Java
Republic online poll asking "Do you want to see Java
set free (that is, open sourced)?":
Answers include:
o Yes, because only free Java will lead to wide
distribution and acceptance.
o Yes, because Sun's dominance is against the interest
of the Java community at large.
o Yes, because only free Java allows non-standard
speciality distributions that fill all niches.
o Yes, because only free Java can avoid forking and
keep everybody working together.
o No, only with Sun in charge can you keep Java from
forking and enforce compatibility.
o No, only with Sun in charge can you keep Microsoft
from running away with Java.
o No, but I want to see an independent organization
take over from Sun.
o Other (Please Comment)
