Oracle launched its Unbreakable Linux (Unbreakable Linux) and responds with RedHat Linux is unforgeable his! (Unfakable RedHat Linux), and not be hungry for more, Novell partners with Microsoft in a strategic move for the first time where the most used operating system in the world opens up a field and recommend Linux as a viable option (of course for now, only the bone Novell Suse Linux) all that and nothing I decided to write a post, but what about the monkeys and coffee these days is something I see much more hot and I could not simply resist.
Just a few hours ago to release Java as GPLv2, you can see the press release: http://www.sun.com/2006-1113/feature/index.jsp good, with so resounding that disappears Stallman java trap and have a subject less to criticize in his speeches (and I assume also stop the development of GNU Classpath, to do so is a bit silly waste of effort).
But that's not all mono version 1.2 is already Release! http://www.mono-project.com/news/archive/2006/Nov-09.html definitely in two weeks so I think there are more big news of late for the world of Open Source.
Now, wow! that changing world, but ... What's the matter? Why all this fuss? What's behind all this?
First, decide which free java java something the community is crying out for long your license yet remained unchanged for 10 years, why release it now?. The answer to this question is not simple and believe me I am sure that Sun refused Microsoft's influence in this decision.
My theory is that. Net made its way where java could not enter or even exploit its full potential. Net is language logo to C #, a language as powerful as java, but somewhat easier to learn, but . Net has some advantages over Java and the number one is that you can write in many languages \u200b\u200band all are exposed to the cylinder that does not force you to learn C #, you can easily keep writing python or better yet, a couple refine detail and learn boo, although the option for others it will continue to use VB with improvements (VB.NET). But Microsoft's move was not enough to shake the Sun, as is java environments. Net could not dream it, Linux, Unix, Mac and not to talk about architecture, and this is where to play monkey, a free implementation. Net developed by Ximian company that was acquired by Novell and led the platform. Net far beyond what was expected, now running 32-bit platforms: x86, PowerPC, ARM, s390, and SPARC, obviously also in the 64-bit: x86-64, s390x and Itanium (IA64), supporting Linux operating systems, Windows, BSD and MacOS (although can be seen in detail in: http://www.mono-project.com/Supported_Platforms)
Well, for those who follow the monkey is nothing new that the mono version was a bit late, for these dates v2.0 expected, however we stayed in 1.1.13, so far from the desired goal, as we discuss Novell and Microsoft have now an agreement, which did not say is that this is a non-aggression pact their patents, this seems to have stimulated the development of mono, which only a few days of signing the treaty has released version 1.2 with impressive improvements (http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.2/ not some people can not say that monkey takes advantage. Net).
If you look at the dates, Microsoft Novell agreement, out of the monkey V1.2 evidence was strong support for the mono team to know that the echo will not be sued for patent abuse, now, when analyzing the Output of java as GPL (only 4 days after the monkey is Release) have accepted that. Net is a true rival to the time for users to select platform.
