The OpenJDK Project and Sun’s open source Java initiative have continued to deliver on the central goals outlined when Sun began to release code for its Java SE implementation under the GPLv2 license. Now, 18 months later, OpenJDK-based implementations are appearing in the Free software repositories of major GNU/Linux distributions. A dynamic, active community of Sun engineers and Free Java developers collaborate on a broad range of packaging, porting, language and implementation projects. The community’s governance, while still in its interim phase, is running smoothly. The primary goal of bringing Java technology to places it hasn’t been has started to be realized, and the community is on the verge of delivering a 100% Free software, compatible source base that can be a foundation for innovation for many years to come.
