Re: [JBoss-dev] JRockit now free

[Dain S. <da...@da...>]

This is a scam.  The site says:

As of the aquisition, the JRockit Virtual Machine is available for free! 
Now everyone can benefit from superior Java performance on Intel 
platforms. Download your copy today!

Buy if you read the press release it says:

The free trial license allows for 30 days of testing, benchmarking and 
production evaluation.

Does anyone else find the first claim completely unethical?

I think everyone should go to theserverside and tell BEA what they 
really think.
