Oracle cooks up free and premium JVMs
Found on The Register on Saturday, 06 November 2010
Oracle will deliver two Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) based on the OpenJDK project - one free and the other paid.
Messinger did not explain how the premium JVM would differ from the free version, but the premium edition will likely see performance tuning and tie-ins to Oracle's middleware.
He did not say how Oracle would price the JVM, or explain how it would be offered, according to QCon Tweets.
Another day, another stupid move by Oracle. They really try to monetize everything, even if it kills the project. Short term revenues are more important for Oracle than stable projects.
