Sun Public License

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sun Public License
Author Sun Microsystems
Free software Yes
OSI approved Yes

The Sun Public License (SPL) is a software license that applies to some open-source software released by Sun Microsystems (such as NetBeans before the 5.5 version). It has been approved by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) as a free software license, and by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) as an open source license. It is derived from the Mozilla Public License.

This license seems now to have been "dropped" by Sun in favor of the new CDDL license, which is also derived from the MPL.
