Not sure if this really belongs here, or should be in Off Topic.
I came across a blog entry that says JAVA should become completely GPL within the next few months. The 2 biggest components holding them back were a graphics library and a sound library. The original owner of the graphics library has finally agreed to allow Sun to release the source, and the Sun developers have decided to write their own OSS sound library.

It's already Completely free
Anyway, this is really great! I Hope to see some great java apps when it is released!
I might publish some myself too!
Nothing here right now... I might put something here later, who knows? Or will I? I really have to think about this...
Zach means free as in speech, not beer. It's already free as in beer.

he meant free and OSS, not just free.
