"Yesterday was a landmark that plenty of us have been working towards for nearly a decade. As MR and I have been indicating for a while now, the remaining obstacles to a fully compatible and Free implementation of Java SE have all been removed by efforts like renegotiating the terms for the source of Java 2D and various community members (Sun and others) re-implementing some of the other code."

It is indeed a great great day for the Free Software community and a great example of the rewards for standing up for our values. Kudos to all who worked behind this milestone.
