hi there, well ... finally... sun follows the gpl - that's nice ;-) far too late though for several of our customers who decided to switch away when we tried to explain that we can't build proper modules for a box that we don't get the kernel-source for.... (while we recommended the box because of its support before) well, we can now try to convince them that sun has listened, but then my question rises up: will this policy last or is this "just for the moment"? thx in advance, Harald Kapper kapper.net, inc. managing director loeblichgasse 6 chief software development 1090 vienna, .at tel +43 1 3195500-0, fax +43 1 3195502, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
