Java History
James Gosling initiated Java language project in June 1991 for use in one of
his many set-top box projects. The language, initially called ‘Oak’
after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's office, also went by the
name ‘Green’ and ended up later being renamed as Java, from a list of
random words.
Sun released the first public implementation as Java 1.0 in
1995. It promised Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA), providing no-cost
run-times on popular platforms.
On 13 November, 2006, Sun released much of Java as free and open source
software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
On 8 May, 2007, Sun finished the process, making all of Java's
core code free and open-source, aside from a small portion of code to
which Sun did not hold the copyright.
