Super Game Empire

There are too many insider information in David Cooper's words, which makes it impossible for all the reporters and guests to digest it in a short time. In an instant, the audience raised dozens of hands, and most of them were

Asked for a question, and some reporters couldn't wait to shout out, and they wanted to immediately ask what was going on!

"What's going on? Why did Sun suddenly come up with open source? Didn't they reject this proposal three years ago?"

"That's right, I remember three years ago, many powerful manufacturers such as ibm, Motorola, Nokia, Sharp Ericsson, etc. all made demands on Sun, hoping that they would open the source code of ja|va software, but they refused it at once!"

"I thought it was strange today, why did Sun Company appear at Longteng's game launch conference? Why did "Minecraft" get mixed up with the ja|va platform? It turns out that the market rumors are not fake, Longteng absolutely controls it.

With the equity of Sun Company, only in this way can we explain why the platform attaches so much importance to games!”

"So, Yang Yun agreed to open source of ja|va? What is he going to do? Open source of linux, open source of Android operating system, and now open source of ja|va. Is he planning to add all of Longteng's next step

All game software is open source? The World Open Source Promotion Association and the Free Software Foundation will be so happy that they can't even close their mouths!"

The reporters had hundreds of questions in their minds, and they were restless if they didn’t solve the doubts!

Only those engaged in the software production industry will know the significant impact of open source. Thinking about the opening source of Linux, which caused a sensation in the world. Almost all programmers cheered and Microsoft's dominance was affected. Many large computer companies quickly stated

Supporting the development of Linux operating system, the industry is thriving.

Of course. Everyone has seen the final outcome of open source of Linux. Microsoft laughed to the end, and they are still the biggest winners. Now, Longteng and Sun are open source of ja|va technology. Will they continue to lose to Microsoft like Linux?

Becoming a laughing stock is what everyone cares about the most.

The reporters in the audience raised their hands high, and some guests and experts whispered below. On the audience, David Cooper did not choose anyone to give them a chance to ask questions, but waited patiently for everyone to calm down.

He made a helpless expression and continued: "Five years ago, Eric Raymond, a well-known IT industry person, wrote a letter to our company. He advised us to give up our control over the language of ja|va, and advised me.

Welfare humanity'. Richard Tosman, chairman of the Free Software Foundation, also called us personally, hoping that we could 'benefit all living beings'. But we scoff at these once less popular people, believing that they intend to steal belonging to us

The most important thing is that their tone was very unpleasant at the time. It seemed as if they were God!"

Everyone would smile, and there were sparse laughter and applause from the scene.

Eric Raymond is a famous hacker and a world-renowned open source software leader and promoter. Software open source is an ideological movement. Equality, freedom, sharing, and happiness. This is what the open source world calls out.

slogan. Promoting the development of science and technology is the only purpose of the open source movement. After opening source, people will not waste a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources on repeated events. This will greatly improve programmers' creative ability and technological progress.

The Free Software Foundation Richard Tosman often said that "the evil of non-free software comes from the greed of large companies." His core values ​​are contrary to the intellectual property protection of mainstream society, and he is even more of a kind

An idealist, and a stubborn extremist.

Although the two are well-known in the world of program software and geeks, their ideas show incompatible conflicts with the popular business rules in modern society. Moreover, the code of conduct of extreme people is generally very extreme. Both of them like it.

Debate, any practice that is contrary to their philosophy will be criticized mercilessly, with a very bad tone and ugly tone. They don’t even understand some basic common sense of dealing with people, so they were both rejected by Sun Company without mercilessly.

This is not surprising.

"Later I said, if you can make Microsoft's T open source code, I will make all 6 million lines of code ja|va technology public the next day. Then they backed down. Everyone knows that Microsoft is not easy to mess with.

They can't afford to offend Bill Gates, the world's richest man, and think that our Sun company is not as rich as Microsoft and cannot withstand threats, so they want to pinch our soft persimmon."

Everyone watched David Cooper tell a joke on it. Sun and Microsoft have been competing for a few days. The two companies are enemies. Sun, which once glorious, even reached a market value of US$200 billion, has the strength to challenge Microsoft. Unfortunately

In 2002, the world economic environment suddenly deteriorated, coupled with the frequent tricks of decision-makers, and countless mistakes were made, and eventually they were short-lived and lost the strength to fight against Microsoft.

Now that ja|va decides to open source, it will definitely shock Microsoft to feel that it can't sleep well. Today, when the cooperation between ja|va and ja|va is booming, sun's open source trick will make t-free, and catch them off guard.

.

"By the way, I forgot to confirm something with you. The rumors in the industry that Sun Company was acquired by Longteng are true. After Sun was delisted four years ago, Longteng acquired us, but it has not been announced. President Yang said

,Sun doesn't need to wait for Microsoft's T to go together, we can do our own things, so you have to wait for today's open source of ja|va."

David Cooper's smile at this moment was full of jokes and provocations. Everyone understood in an instant that this was a killer move against Microsoft!

"Mr. Cooper! May I ask..."

"Hey! Mr. Cooper..."

"Excuse me……"

The reporters in the audience were impatient. They had questions to ask. If they held it in, they would get sick if they didn’t ask!

David Cooper finally gave them a chance and began to designate a reporter to ask questions.

"What exactly does the open source ja|va technology you just mentioned include?"

"Open source is a long-term process. The first thing that opens is the ja|va community. In the future, all source code development work will be transferred to the ja|va community. Enterprise-level customers who have signed a cooperation agreement with our Sun company have temporarily suspended open source.

Because some of these commercial products belong to the customer's own intellectual property rights, the commercial license will remain. If this part of the content is required in the ja|va community, it must comply with the provisions of the commercial license facade."

The reporters quickly thought about the content here, and after David Cooper stopped to explain, he continued to ask: "What do you mean is that commercial licenses may be opened one after another in the future?"

"Yes, the interests of enterprise-level users must be commercially guaranteed. Any commercial license that belongs to a certain enterprise should be used by other enterprises, but a certain fee must be paid. At the same time, we welcome organizations with strong technical strength to do so.

Or I personally expand the function of open source ja|va, just like Linux, and extends many incompatible versions."

This pie is big enough. The first thing that reporters think of is the smart mobile terminal devices that are sweeping the world today. Because newsonic or Longteng Entertainment Games Company is open source, the Android operating system dominated 80% of the world's market share.

The open source Android operating system is also a packaged version of Linux, which is the power of open source.

Opening the ja|va community first is in line with Sun's open source strategy, and then ensuring the commercial licenses of enterprise-level users one after another. This is respect for customers and protection of intellectual property rights. Sun's company is between intellectual property rights and free software

Found a balance point.

"After ja|va is open source, how should Sun company ensure that its own interests are not lost?"

This question is very sharp, which is also an important reason why Sun strongly opposed open source back then. The benefits of open source are obvious. More and more people will join the ja|va community and develop more and more versions to effectively spread ja|va

The coverage rate has made ja|va more popular and has become a powerful tool to weaken Microsoft.

But this will also pose a threat to sun itself. First of all, ja|va will not be compatible in the future. The reputation of the brand ja|va may also be affected. Sun's biggest advantage will no longer exist-ja|va

It is a platform technology that "can run applications on any platform with one compilation". If everyone knows this technology, who will come to find sun?

David Cooper smiled without answering, and the audience became silent and everyone was waiting.

"I am the major shareholder of Sun. Ja|va open source serves us. I don't think open source will cause sun to suffer losses."

Yang Yun took the conversation, and he walked up to the stage, came to David Cooper, and supported his employees: "We are willing to disclose 6 million ja|va with source code, and welcome powerful people to jointly develop. Here, I

I want to say to companies that have been hostile to the ja|va community that if we let go of our prejudices, we can still be friends.”

This sentence seems to be a joke, but it seems so harsh when it comes to Yang Yun's mouth.

Many journalists and guests in the IT industry quickly thought of several names in their minds. There are only a few companies in this world that are hostile to the ja|va community! (To be continued...)
