Sun Open-Sources Java UI Toolkit

ruphus13 writes "As the mobile space heats up, Sun has released the source code for Java Lightweight UI Toolkit under the GPL v2 license. ZDNet quotes Sun's senior director of embedded software saying, 'By creating LWUIT, Sun is reaffirming its commitment to the mobile development community and by open-sourcing the LWUIT code, we are enabling mobile developers to quickly and easily create rich, portable interfaces for their applications -- functionality that they have been requesting for some time.' Will Adobe follow suit?" Sun is also working on some fixes to holes in their mobile Java platform, which were discovered by a Polish researcher who demanded €20,000 to disclose the information.

Indeed. Giving in to whiny feminists only makes them whine twice as loud about the next thing.

Get them all back in the kitchen I say!

I know I won't be modded down for this because only women would object to those sentiments. As Slashdot is populated solely by unencumbered males, it is thus a haven for those wishing to express their support for the oppressive patriarchal system.

Down with the Rule of Law! Long live the Rule of Thumb!
