To me and quite a few more at Groklaw, it looks like Sun too now wants a division, between the GPL world and everyone else, remember Microsoft funds them, and we know they put a lot of money into TSCOG, US$ 50 mill thru the BayStar deal alone, and it is really Sun who decides whether you're in a line of fire or not if you carry on as you perfectly legally has been working. ..none of us _knows_ the ramifications of Sun's new patent regime, the underhandedness in their CDDL and its OSI approval that gained Sun access to IBM's 500 patents while denying non-CDDL people access to Sun's 1600 open-to-CDDL tells a verifiable story and, like it or not, we will all get to see how this plays out. ..me, I don't do anything Sun or Java, so staying away is easy for me. -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
