Spring & GPL v3
Talking of Spring - SpringSource’s choice of license for their new ‘platform’ seems to have sparked some discussion over on TSS.
In a way - it’s sad that a perfectly decent product launch is over-shadowed by their choice of license - we (the OpenSource community) still clearly have work to do.
I haven’t decided whether their choice to dual license is smart or dumb and I also wonder if it was done with BEAOralces blessing - presumably they we’re a good partner at one point. Clearly SpringSource think they’re in a dominant enough position to make such a change - I guess their consumers will decide.
