[Internetnews] Red Hat Joins Open Source Java Party
Quote:
Sun's open source Java effort has won a new convert today; Red Hat has announced that it will join the Sun-led OpenJDK effort and will now be an active participant in the process.
With Sun open sourcing Java, it took the first step on a longer road toward further opening it up to development. Despite those efforts, there remains much still to be done -- which is why Sun will need the help of Red Hat and others to make open source Java a success.
The agreement between Sun and Red Hat is a contribution agreement, which helps to set out the rules of governance and participation under which Red Hat is involved in the OpenJDK effort. Phipps said the agreement ensures that contributions are free of intellectual property issues.
As part of the collaboration, Red Hat will also get access to the Java SE Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) to ensure that technology developed by Red Hat is compliant with JavaSE specifications. The TCK itself is not available under an open source license.
