Slashdotters discuss several links, including a vnunet.com article, that discuss the disagreements between Apache developers and Sun over the Sun Java Community License.

The group, which represents open source developers, issued a statement last week which called on Sun to discontinue licences prohibiting Java compatible open source implementations, and make compatibility testing more accessible.
