Free Coffee

Java is “really open” Open Source now. Almost.

Yahoo reported this hot Java news on Earth Day, and Slashdot reported it and rehashed it on World Book Day, eWeek analyzed it last Wednesday, and snail mailed it on Monday, and I’m finally mentioning it on Bring Your Child to Work Day. I hope my 13 year old daughter doesn’t ask me to explain the difference between FOSS and “free beer”, or stump me with questions about how the CDDL is different than the GPL. I just enjoy drinking the free coffee. I drink the free coffee every day at work. Why? I just like it. Don’t ask me any difficult questions.

But seriously… all joking aside, seems like Jonathan Schwartz really gets it.
