Product Update for Java Developers

We are committed to helping Java developers leverage Java technology in their products and ensure compliance to the licensing obligations from Sun Microsystems' recent announcement to offer Java platform implementations under the GNU General Public License as well as a Sun commercial license.

Palamida is offering an update to our IP Amplifier, IP Authorizer and Compliance products. The update to Palamida's IP Amplifier and Compliance products will help you identify the Java language files you are using from the Sun Java Developer's Kit (JDK) and their associated license requirements. The update to the IP Authorizer will enable you to assess how developers are using components of the JDK.

What does the update include?
The Compliance Library database of over 130,000 open source and commercial third-party products has been updated to reflect licensing changes in the JDK distribution for the Java programming language compiler (javac), the Java HotSpot technology and JavaHelp software. In addition, Open JDK will be available in the Compliance Library beginning in 2007. Once IP Amplifier identifies various Java files in use by developers, the updated IP Authorizer module assesses how developers will be using them, a question with further software license implications. IP Authorizer helps communicate, for example, whether the files are:

• Statically or dynamically linked
• Modified in any way
• Set to be part of external distribution
• For internal use only
• Used as a development tool
