Dennis: now that is a nice excuse! People disagree (without any kind of ground, much less a solid one) with me and as such I can't consider them fooled? Neat. I guess you should read the COC and understand it, not merely memorize its URL.

People, get this: Sun's poising itself with this license to assume absolutely no responsabilities. Whenever, in an Enterprise environment, you have a problem you can break down to Java (and prove) if it's not the Java that's distributed on java.sun.com, you're so out of luck...

At the company I work at, IBM and HP are fighting about some java related problems (one says it's Java, the other the OS). Sun can't even be annointed with a responsability.

This JDL has serious responsability issues, serious indemnification issues, and dubious distribution conditions.

Pretending they're not dubious but instead very clear, based on a FAQ and license that say the FAQ is worthless, only the license is valid, is either gullibility or trying to fool the rest of the world.
