Pois é, notícias chocantes! Enquanto lia minhas feeds no Google Reader, vi um post no blog do Neal Gafter que continha um link para o projeto openjdk no java.net e com os headers da licença GPLv2.

Sun to open-source using GPLv2

from Neal Gafter’s blog
by Neal Gafter

It appears that Sun has started moving javac and HotSpot onto their respective java.net repositories. Apparently, you can browse the repository of the “Open JDK” project. And there, you can see that the license under which it is distributed is… GPL version 2! From https://openjdk.dev.java.net/source/browse/openjdk/hotspot/trunk/src/share/vm/c1/c1_CFGPrinter.cpp?rev=122&view=markup:
