刚才在Glassfish的Google Group上收到有关Apache在EJB 3.1 JSR表决上投了否决票的消息。过去看了一下,发现只有Apache投了否决票,Eclipse、Spring弃权,而且Apache的理由相当牛逼:

On 2009-11-30 Apache Software Foundation voted No with the following comment: The Apache Software Foundation's vote is based on the point of view that this spec lead - Sun - is in violation of the JSPA http://www.apache.org/jcp/sunopenletter.html and therefore shouldn't be allowed to lead other JSRs until the above matter is resolved. This vote is not a comment on the technical merits of the JSR. If not for the issue of the spec lead, the ASF would have otherwise voted "yes".

于是又围观了一下那封公开信,不亏是Apache,邮件的口气都不一样,比如开头:

My name is Geir Magnusson Jr, and I'm the officer of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), a 501(c)3 public charity, charged with matters relating to our participation in the Java Community Process (JCP). I am also the VP of the Apache Harmony project. In this matter I represent the ASF.

还有结尾:

We expect you to offer an acceptable, JSPA-compliant license to us within 30 days, or provide a public explanation of why you cannot do so.
