A review of what the Europeans want from SUNW...... eet.com Canal Plus has shipped almost 3 million digital satellite and cable set-tops in Europe that use a "virtual machine" interpreted architecture similar to Java's. "We would like to upgrade to the Java Virtual Machine," Jezequel said. Those sentiments are shared by other members of the DVB Project. The powerful inter-industry group, based in Geneva and composed of leading broadcasters, service providers and consumer-system vendors, has been the driving force behind Europe's digital-video standards for cable, satellite and terrestrial broadcast. What SUNW is saying today....... biz.yahoo.com No mention of Canal+ and company, but it looks like they will get what they want..... Allows for royalty free internal use for research and development. -- Allows commercial entities to use and modify the source code for commercial software development without charge. -- Allows innovation on the source code without requiring that innovation be returned to Sun. -- Allows licensees to modify and share source code with other licensees without charge and without mediation from Sun. At least in theory, now if they can only makeit run faster!
