[maemo-developers] Superwaba Re: [maemo-developers] JamVM on 770 (Java)

[From: Frantisek Dufka]

Just a warning. SuperWaba is very good but no longer free. Since version 
5.x authors invented new business model and started to charge for LGPLed 
version (approx. 500$ per year). The version they call GPLed is still 
free but mostly only as in beer and the future is not bright. It works a 
bit like honeypot for developers or demoversion for the PRO package. 
This version has some advanced packages missing, shows a nag screen and 
there are no regular updates and bugfixes. Also the full rebuildable 
sources of 'GPLed' SuperWaba version are not available so you cannot fix 
bugs in the runtime (and remove nag screen). Also there is no guarantee 
there will be next such version because authors are a bit unhappy about 
their licence choice.

Anyone who want free (both as speech and beer) java virtual machine 
should look elsewhere.
