However it would take a full year +before the complete publication of +[OpenJDK](http://openjdk.java.net/) source code. +And, even then, the community was frustrated by the lack of +support for the [Java plugin](http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/05/16/open-source-project-openjdk/). + +During this intitial period we heard from people +such as the Brazilian's at +[FISL](https://secure.flickr.com/photos/tmarble/sets/72157600071625815/) +that the Java plugin -- now well integrated with GNU/Linux +under the DLJ -- made it possible to do banking and file tax returns +on their favorite platform. +Meanwhile an open source plugin effort was underway. +Largely through the efforts of RedHat OpenJDK gained +a truly open source implementation of the +[plugin](http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web). +However due to the lack of a public spec (and source code) it +continues to be very difficult to get the exact same Java plugin behavior +with the IcedTea plugin. + +Before the acquisition of Sun many of us had hoped +that the code for the [new Java plugin](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/plugin2-142482.html) +would be contributed to OpenJDK. Even though Larry +has a beard he clearly doesn't drink the open source Kool-Aid +and thus Oracle has decided to continue the closed plugin status. +Since UI developers gave up on applets long ago maybe this is +just an annoyance... At the very least its a shame that we now +have a completely fractured Java plugin landscape and +GNU/Linux users that need applets +will have to struggle (as in the bad old days) to configure +their browsers correctly. + +Despite this setback it does seem that Java +technology is enjoying a renaissance in the form +of [dynamic languages](http://openjdk.java.net/projects/mlvm/) +built [on top](http://www.wiki.jvmlangsummit.com/Main_Page) of the JVM. +I'm hoping to help with the +[modularization](http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/08/debconf11-at-banja-luka.html) +of OpenJDK and encourage community based performance analysis +tools that [extend](http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/102) the platform. + +Send me a tweet and let me know how the hallway track is going! + +[[!tag Java plugin OpenJDK DLJ JavaOne]] diff --git a/tmarble/posts/A_Hug_is_Symmetric.mdwn b/tmarble/posts/A_Hug_is_Symmetric.mdwn new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b1c1a2f --- /dev/null +++ b/tmarble/posts/A_Hug_is_Symmetric.mdwn @@ -0,0 +1,170 @@ +# A Hug is Symmetric + +An embrace is warm when two are pulled together. +A one arm hug is a patronizing squeeze that makes +for a (bad) photo op. + +This little blog post is my > 140 response to my +new friend [@dberkholz][dberkholz]'s post +[The Story Of Data: Whither the GPL?

To which fuel was added +by a recent [BlackDuck][blackduck] analysis also asserting the +the decline of the GPL. In precious few seconds of research +I was unable to to find the BlackDuck report itself, but +only [mention][mention] of [it][it]. Ultimately the approach +of the BlackDuck study is one of the problems. The data and methodology +have not been made available for peer review -- the basis +of the scientific method which defines progress in every +academic discipline. + +During our first [Legal Issues DevRoom][fosdem_legal_issues] at FOSDEM +we had several talks touching on the impact of software +(and other artifact) licensing on FLOSS. Of special note: +John Sullivan, Executive +Director of the Free Software Foundation gave a talk "Is copyleft +being framed?" and Richard Fontana, Red Hat's Open Source Licensing +and Patent Counsel gave a talk, "The (possible) decline of the GPL, and what to do about it". Slides for these and other talks are available +[[here|/fosdem/LegalIssuesDevRoom/Speakers]]. Sullivan's data +and methodology are available for review and suggest that +the use of GPL is vibrant. + +I do hope that my friend and former Sun colleague [Rich Sands][richsands] -- +who is now at BlackDuck -- can help shed some light on their analysis. + +But I'm not here to quibble about the data.

The collaborative development model is really all you need + +Bruce Perens was right: collaboration is better. Yet collaboration +is necessary, but not sufficient to build a community. +As we have become more familiar with FLOSS models it has +become increasingly clearly that copyright assignment or licensing +agreements that put a corporation in asymmetric control +of a codebase does not foster the healthiest communities. + +When inbound == outbound licensing and everyone is symmetric +footing collaboration *and* contribution thrive. + +[Simon Phipps][webmink], also a friend and former Sun colleague, +has written about the health of projects such +as [Libre Office][libreoffice] and assessing the health of +FLOSS [governance][scorecard]. + +## 3. Commercial products == proprietary products + +"Not to mention that copyleft licenses make it much harder to build +proprietary products". Well maybe we should start with understanding +there might be a difference between building products and making a +biz model around them vs. the licensing of said products. + +With Red Hat hitting the milestone of $1 [billion][rht_billion] in revenue +I think we can put to rest the question, "can you make money with +open source?" Certainly Red Hat has some proprietary licensed +products, but the crux or their business model is based on +restrictively licensed, copyleft software. Red Hat invests +an enormous amount of developer time to give back to the community... +And apparently they are not suffering for it. Apparently +this isn't too complicated for them. And apparently the +bottom line is doing just fine, thank you. + +## 4. Restrictive licensing doesn't matter in Cloud + +If anything the rise of "Cloud Computing" drives the +[need][need] for an [updated approach][agpl_cloud] to restrictive licensing. +This was the real motivation behind creating +the [AGPL][agpl]. Why is this? It's because traditionally +restrictive licensing kicks in when the software is *delivered*. +In web services you get data, but not software (in any form). + +A great deal has been written about copyleft in the cloud era... +Since Donnie's post included "Data" I think it's worth +mentioning the [Freedom to Leave][freedom_to_leave] and +the [Franklin Street Statement][franklin_st]. + +*(Secret: data is more valuable than code :) )* + +## 5.

Ubuntu!][omg_ubuntu] +and Simon's [followup today in Computerworld UK][webmink_java_not_dead]. + +Simon's article does a good job of highlighting the role +of the DLJ in the pre-OpenJDK days. Even for many of us +at Sun we didn't know at the time we working on the +[DLJ][dlj_pr] that the plans to open source Java would be +announced at JavaOne 2006. Even so it would be over a year +before OpenJDK source was actually released and several more +months before it was built and distributed by major Linux +distributions. + +Especially in the early days the DLJ bundles played an important +role in the transition to the Free Java we enjoy today. +In particular this enabled meaningful conversations between +Sun and the community around packaging which have continued +to this day on the subject of Java [modularity][jigsaw_big_pic]. +Yet there is one thing Simon did not mention: how many +people thanked Sun for making Java available under the DLJ. + +The people who were most appreciative +were those using government mandated applications (e.g. tax filing in France) +or financial applications (e.g. banking in Brazil). +What is very important to note is that +these key applications use Java applets. These applications depend +on having a solid Java plugin which provides applets in modern browsers. + +What the community lost in the sunset of the DLJ was the *de facto* +plugin implementation even though it is not, in fact, part of +the Java SE specification. Since Java 6 update 10 or so the Sun (now Oracle) +implementations have used a new, re-architected plugin (let's call it plugin2). +One of the large, remaining deltas from Oracle's closed Java and OpenJDK +is the plugin: neither plugin1 nor plugin2 have been open sourced. + +Here we must acknowledge the amazing community effort of the IcedTea +project in Free Java and, specifically, around an +[open source plugin][icedtea_web] +implementation. So is Java in Ubuntu? Yes. Is there a plugin +in Ubuntu? [Yes][ubuntu_plugin]. Yet this is one area where the community +is [struggling][ubuntu_bugs] +to provide users with Java functionality they need and Oracle isn't +cooperating with the community as well as they are on the bulk of OpenJDK. + +My former Sun colleague David Herron has [blogged about the DLJ][robogeek_dlj] as has a fellow Debian Java developer [Sylvestre Ledru][sylvestre_dlj]. + +We not at the End Times for Java.
