What should Microsoft do, now that Java is GPL'd? | |
|

Given the long-standing rivalry between .Net and Java, one would assume that Sun's decision to release Java under the GPL would likely result in some kind of a reaction from the Redmondians. But exactly what Microsoft could, should and will do, if anything, to counteract Sun's November 13 announcement, is murky. Maybe Microsoft will create a language to go head-to-head with Java. Oh wait. The company did that already, with C#. (Anyone else remember good old "Project Cool"?) Or perhaps Microsoft will open source its .Net framework? While the company already released .Net under its own Shared Source license, as Windows Now blogger Robert McLaws notes, I think it would be a stretch to expect Microsoft to go the final mile and release .Net under some type of bona fide open-source arrangement. | ||
