OffHeap 76. On license changes and Open Source Software
Listen now
Description
If you haven't heard, Akka has changed is open source license (from Apache to Commercial). And if you have been using Akka, that's significant! We have seen this happen a couple of times to a lesser extent in cloud products (MongoDB and Elastic comes to mind), but (we think) this is the first time we see a license change in something that's so fundamental as an enterprise integration framework like Akka Join us as we explore the ramifications of this move, both for Lightbend, and for the industry. Does this mean that Open Source and its business models (like paid extended features or tooling, or support contracts) is over? Would Akka be forked? Would it sink or swim? Will Lightbend survive. We don't know all (or any of the answers) but we sure spend time trying to understand what are the possible answers to these questions. https://www.javaoffheap.com/datadog We thank DataDogHQ for sponsoring this podcast episode DO follow us on twitter @offheap https://www.twitter.com/offheap Conferences  - JakartaOne LiveStream - Dec 6  - SpringOne - Dec 6 - 8  - jChampions Conf - Jan 19, 20, 23, 24  - Devnexus - Apr 4-6, CFP closes Nov 15 News  -Jakarta EE 10:   https://blog.payara.fish/whats-new-in-jakarta-ee-10  - Spring Framework 6 RC Available now, GA next month  - Spring Boot 3 RC Available now, GA next month  - JavaFX 19:   https://www.infoworld.com/article/3673888/javafx-19-rich-client-java-platform-arrives.html Discussion  - License change Akka https://www.lightbend.com/blog/why-we-are-changing-the-license-for-akka https://flink.apache.org/news/2022/09/08/akka-license-change.html

Hopefully we are all rested and ready to tackle this 2024. There is already a ton going on with AI, but front and center has been the current job market news (it's dire). Even so, when a new door closes, a new (shiny AI-ish) door opens.  Here we dive into what it means to be an java developer in...
