Compiling Java with GCJ - 0 views

  • Using an interpreter (simulator) adds quite a bit of execution overhead. A common solution for high-performance JVMs is to use dynamic translation or just-in-time (JIT) compilers. In that case, the runtime system will notice a method has been called enough times to make it worthwhile to generate machine code for that method on the fl
  • y. Future calls to the method will execute the machine code directly.

The Free Software Definition - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) - 0 views

  • Freedom 1 includes the freedom to use your changed version in place of the original. If the program is delivered in a product designed to run someone else's modified versions but refuse to run yours — a practice known as “tivoization” or (through blacklisting) as “secure boot” — freedom 1 becomes a theoretical fiction rather than a practical freedom. This is not sufficient. In other words, these binaries are not free software even if the source code they are compiled from is free.
  • In order for these freedoms to be real, they must be permanent and irrevocable as long as you do nothing wrong; if the developer of the software has the power to revoke the license, or retroactively change its terms, without your doing anything wrong to give cause, the software is not free.
  • For example, copyleft (very simply stated) is the rule that when redistributing the program, you cannot add restrictions to deny other people the central freedoms. This rule does not conflict with the central freedoms; rather it protects them.

  • Free software does not mean non-commercial. A free program must be available for commercial use, commercial development, and commercial distribution. Commercial development of free software is no longer unusual; such free commercial software is very important. You may have paid money to get copies of free software, or you may have obtained copies at no charge. But regardless of how you got your copies, you always have the freedom to copy and change the software, even to sell copies.
