The LANGUAGE is FREE. Sun license the IMPLEMENTATION. McNealy said there is no question that Microsoft engages in predatory pricing against rival Netscape Communications' Navigator Internet browser by giving away its Internet Explorer browser for free. "You can't even argue that it's not predatory," he said. news.com McNealy mocked Microsoft Chief Executive Bill Gates's Senate testimony earlier this month in which Gates said his company is an innovator and not a monopolist predator. "Software's different," he said, shaking his head. "Isn't that like Rockefeller saying oil's different," --------- It's amazing how blatantly hypocritical these people can be. McNealy gives away Java FREE. I say "You can't even argue that's not predatory". But of course Sun will get away with their predatory pricing. They're the good guys. The whiners. The underachievers. The ones who need a leg up.
