POJ - Sun Open Sources Jini

Sun announced yesterday that it is releasing Jini as open source under the Apache license. The technology, which was originally created in 1999, was designed for linking consumer devices, although for the most part, it has not been used as such until recently. Most customers using the technology have been using it for grid computing and server clustering according to Sun.
