Blackdown Statement of Purpose
We each are dedicated to the professional development of the Java platform for Linux based on the community source concept. We see participation in the Blackdown project as a cutting-edge opportunity for intellectual cooperation between the open source community and the commercial software industry. We each are committed to abiding by the agreements we've made with Sun and other technology vendors. We aim to use their good will to further the cause of independence for software developers around the world. A bridge between the open source community and the commercial software development world is to everyone's advantage, and we would like to exemplify that relationship. We believe that the vendors with whom we partner are committed to the same ideals.
The Blackdown project is based entirely on Java product source bases that have been licensed from Sun Microsystems.
