J2EE would imply Oracle. But there are no fees implied. Additionally, most of the Java libraries have a linking exception to prevent any GPL licensing from affecting other components. Granted, there could be fees if you&#x27;re redistributing Java or embedding it on mobile hardware. It&#x27;s all like this because that&#x27;s how Sun did it for many years and Oracle can&#x27;t&#x2F;won&#x27;t upset that momentum.<p>Proprietary vendors have had a large part in writing these open standards, but they&#x27;re mostly interested in creating a standardized, free commons.<p>GP&#x27;s story is not about programmers at a hardware company, and it&#x27;s probably not directly applicable to colorForth.
