“PicoJava Processor Core Now Available Via the Web” “Sun weighed
the advantages and disadvantages of proprietary license models
against open source license models and instituted the Sun Community
Source Licensing model as a blend of the best of both.”
“For years, systems designers have struggled with barriers that
impair their access to IP. They want quick, unconditional access
for evaluation and development purposes,” said Bob Weiderhold,
corporate vice president, design services, Cadence Design Systems,
Inc. “The SCSL model can be appreciated by anyone who has gone
through the process of licensing IP. Utilizing the Web as a
dissemination vehicle makes Sun’s new program all the more
compelling.”
