Sun takes Java into open source territory

OK, I know that Sun Microsystems has already open-sourced the Java EE5 application server code under the auspices of its GlassFish project, but the breaking news is that the full Java source code is to follow next. Sun has announced that the Java code will be covered by the General Public License 2 (GPLv2) which is great news for all you Linux developers out there who have been less than inspired by the Sun ‘Community Development and Distribution License.’
