We always never touched anything (at least since 2001) that was not clearly community driven and with a freesoftware licence.
I however now find myself in a rather strange position of having to use JAVA or something similiar for a particular project.
how free is openjdk? at gnowledge lab we are using two of the educational packages that run on openjdk, geogebra and freemind?
OpenJDK has/had some closed parts. Hence it is supposed to be replaced with OpenJDK + IcedTea. This combo is supposed to be ok. As per the discussion below, it specifically addresses the binary parts and the of OpenJDK
http://help.lockergnome.com/linux/Sun-OpenJDK-Debian--ftopict462456.html
In particular the "Assembly Exception".
http://openjdk.java.net/legal/assembly-exception.html
Checking out OpenJDK + IcedTea details. Available on lenny. Any hints on toolkits?
I also found pyjamas (http://www.pyjs.org) interesting. Especially since this would work on my embedded targets.
