There was too much inside information in David Cooper's words, which made the reporters and guests in the audience unable to digest it in a short time, and in an instant, dozens of hands were raised, and most of them asked for questions, and some reporters couldn't wait to shout out, they wanted to ask what happened immediately!

"What's going on? Why did SUN suddenly come up with open source? Didn't they reject this proposal three years ago? ”

"That's right, I remember three years ago, IBM, Motorola, Nokia, Sharp Ericsson and many other powerful big manufacturers all asked SUN to open up JA|VA software source code, but they rejected it! ”

"I think it's very strange today why there are people from SUN at the game conference of Dragon, and why Minecraft is the same as JA|The VA platform is mixed together, it turns out that the market rumors are not fake, and Longteng absolutely controls the equity of SUN, only in this way can it be explained why the platform attaches so much importance to games! ”

"In that case, JA|VA open source was agreed to by Yang Yun? What is he doing here? Open source Linux, open source Android operating system, and now open source JA|VA, does he plan to open source all the game software under Longteng next? The Open Source Initiative and the Free Software Foundation are going to be smiling! ”

The reporters have a thousand questions in their hearts, they don't understand, they are restless!

Only those who are engaged in the software industry will know the heavy influence of open source, and want to open source Linux in the first place, so that it will create a sensation around the world. Almost all programmers cheered, and Microsoft's supremacy suffered. Many large computer companies have been quick to express their support for the development of the Linux operating system, and the industry is thriving.

Of course. Everyone has seen what the final outcome of Linux open source is, Microsoft has the last laugh, and they are still the biggest winners, and now Longteng and SUN are against JA|VA technology open source, will it be as short-lived as Linux, continue to lose to Microsoft, become a laughing stock, this is what everyone is most concerned about.

The hands of the reporters in the audience were raised high, and some guests and experts exchanged heads below. David Cooper on the stage did not choose anyone to give them a chance to ask questions, but patiently waited for everyone to calm down.

With a helpless expression, he continued: "Five years ago, Eric Raymond, a well-known figure in the IT world, wrote a letter to our company, and he advised us to give up on JA|The control of VA language advises me to 'benefit mankind'. Richard Tosman, president of the Free Software Foundation, also called us personally, hoping that we could 'benefit all beings.' But we scoff at these once-less unpopular people, believing that they intend to steal money that belongs to us. The main thing is that at that time their tone was unpleasant. As if they were God! ”

Everyone smiled, and there was sparse laughter and applause at the scene.

Eric Raymond is a well-known hacker and a world-renowned leader and promoter of open source software, which is an ideological movement. Equality, freedom, sharing. Happiness, that's the slogan of the open source world. Promoting the development of science and technology is the only purpose of the open source movement, and people will not waste a lot of manpower, material and financial resources on repeated incidents. This will greatly improve the creative ability of programmers, as well as the progress of science and technology.

Richard Tossman of the Free Software Foundation often says that "the evil of nonfree software comes from the greed of large corporations", and his core values are contrary to the protection of intellectual property rights in mainstream society, and he is more of an idealist and a stubborn extremist.

Although the two are quite famous in the world of programming software and geeks, their ideas are in conflict with the business rules that are prevalent in modern society, and the code of conduct of extreme people is generally very extreme, both of them like to debate, and any approach contrary to their ideas will be mercilessly criticized by them, the tone is very bad, it is difficult to hear, and they don't even understand some basic common sense of life, so it is not surprising that the two of them were mercilessly rejected by SUN.

"Later I said, if you can make Microsoft's . .NET is also open source, and I will have 6 million lines of code in JA|All VA technologies are disclosed. Then they retreated, everyone knows that Microsoft is not easy to mess with, they can't afford to mess with Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, and think that our SUN company doesn't have Microsoft's deep pockets and can't withstand threats, so they want to pinch us, a soft persimmon. ”

Everyone watched David Cooper tell jokes on it, the competition between SUN and Microsoft is not a day or two, the two companies are enemies, the once glorious SUN even reached a market value of 200 billion US dollars, and has the strength to challenge Microsoft, but unfortunately in 2002, the sudden deterioration of the world economic environment, coupled with the frequent tricks of the decision-making level, made countless mistakes, and finally it was short-lived, losing the strength to fight against Microsoft.

Now JA|VA decided to open source, and it will definitely be Microsoft up and down shocked to not sleep well, in the smart mobile terminal with JA|Today, when VA cooperation is booming, SUN's open source will make .NET helpless and catch them off guard.

"By the way, I want to confirm one thing to you, the rumors in the industry that SUN was acquired by Longteng are true, after SUN was delisted four years ago, Longteng acquired us, but it has not been announced. President Yang said, SUN doesn't need to wait for Microsoft's .NET together, we can do our best, so you have waited until todayVA's open source. ”

David Cooper's smile at this time was full of banter and provocation, and everyone understood in an instant that this was a big killer move against Microsoft!

"Mr. Cooper! Excuse me......"

"Hey! Mr. Cooper ......"

"Excuse me......"

The reporters in the audience are impatient, they have questions to ask, and if they don't ask, they will get sick!

David Cooper finally gave them a chance and began to designate reporters to ask questions.

"What did you just say about open source JA|? What are the full technologies of VA? ”

"Open source is a long-term process, and the first to open up is JA|VA community, in the future, all source code development will be transferred to JA|The VA community is coming, and enterprise customers who have signed a cooperation agreement with our SUN company are holding off open source, because some of these commercial products are their own intellectual property, so the commercial license will be retained. If JA|If this part of the content is required in the VA community, it must comply with the regulations of the commercial license façade. ”

The reporters quickly pondered the contents, and after David Cooper stopped explaining, he continued to ask: "You mean, commercial licenses may be opened one after another in the future?" ”

"Yes, the benefits of enterprise users must be guaranteed commercially, and any commercial license that belongs to a private enterprise should be available to other businesses or individuals, but only for a certain fee. At the same time, we welcome organizations or individuals with strong technical strength to open source JA|VA expands its functionality, and like Linux, it has many incompatible versions. ”

This pie is big enough, the first thing that comes to the reporter's mind is the smart mobile terminal devices that are sweeping the world today, because NewSonic or the open source of Longteng Entertainment Game Company, the Android operating system dominates 80% of the world's market share, this open source Android operating system is also a certain packaged version of Linux, this is the power of open source.

And open JA|The VA community, in line with SUN's open source policy, will continue to guarantee commercial licenses for enterprise-level users, which is a respect for customers and the protection of intellectual property rights, and SUN has found a balance between intellectual property rights and free software.

"Excuse me, JA|After VA is open-sourced, how can SUN ensure that its interests are not lost? ”

This question is very acute, which is also an important reason why SUN strongly opposed open source back then, the benefits of open source are obvious, and more people will come to join JA|The VA community has developed more and more versions that have powerfully spread JA|VA coverage, let JA|VA is growing in popularity as a powerful tool to weaken Microsoft.

But this will also pose a threat to SUN itself, starting with JA|Future versions of VA will not be compatible, JA|The reputation of the VA brand may also be affected, and SUN's greatest advantage will no longer existVA is a platform technology that "can run applications on any platform with a single compilation", if everyone knows this technology, who will come to SUN?

David Cooper smiled and didn't answer, and the audience fell silent as everyone waited.

"I'm the majority shareholder of SUN, JA|VA open source is for ourselves, and I don't think open source will make SUN suffer. ”

Yang Yun took the conversation, he walked up to the stage, came to David Cooper's side, and strongly supported his employees: "We are willing to disclose the JA|, which has 6 million lines of source codeVA, we welcome the joint development of those who have the strength. Here, I would like to say a good job to those who are interested in JA|The once hostile companies in the VA community say we can be friends if we let go of our past preconceptions. ”

This sentence seemed like a joke, but when it came out of Yang Yun's mouth, it seemed so harsh.

Many reporters and guests from the IT industry quickly thought of a few names in their hearts, and the world was interested in JA|There are a few companies that are hostile to the VA community! (To be continued......)
