I was just wondering how everyone feels about companies creating
JAVA Components, Beans, API's etc, and then sales them.
Here are a few examples for which I would be refering:

One one hand I can see selling a solution, but not selling an API or a Bean type component. But on the other hand, why shouldn't JAVA developers sale their products regardless of what they are. I think that when I see the
word JAVA, I assume open source. And this can't be the case all the time, or none of us would ever make any money.
What are some of your thoughts on this topic?
