Default Sun Makes Java Tech. Open-Source Project
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Computer server and software maker Sun Microsystems Inc. said Monday that it had begun to make its Java technology an open-source software project available for free on the Internet.

The announcement represents one of the largest additions of computer code to the open-source community - and it marks a major shift for a company that had once fiercely protected the source code used in 3.8 billion cell phones, supercomputers, medical devices and other gadgets.

Santa Clara-based Sun said it is making nearly all of Java's source code - excluding small pockets of code that aren't owned by Sun - available under the GNU General Public License. The same type of license also covers the distribution of the core, or kernel, of the popular open-source operating system Linux, which competes against Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system.

It means that you will be able to modify how the code actually works. New version with extended features will begin to pop up everywhere.
