New Java License


Sun announced a couple of days ago a new license for the Java Development Kit : the Java Internal Use License, aka JIUL, to be pronounced “JEWEL”.

This license will authorize organizations to modify the JDK as long as the changes are kept for internal use only. The definition of “Internal Use” is part of JIUL FAQ

JDK 5.0 Update 3 is the first technology to be available under the JIUL.

The source code of the Java Standard Edition platform, release 5 (aka “Tiger“) and release 6 (aka “Mustang“) where previously available under the terms of the Java Research License only.
