http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=35691 (Sun releases Java under GPL licence ... A kick in the teeth to Vole's .Net ... It also puts Novell in a very uncomfortable position, because its "Mono" project ...) ------ Ponytailed CEO Jonathan Schwartz will announce the ground-breaking move in a webcast to be held later at 9:30am Pacific Time. [...] In related news, we have to deny the rumour about Richard Stallman having a shock and being in a coma after hearing these Earth-shaking news, really. What the tech plebs - always prone to Sun-bashing - will say after this remains to be seen. And that brings us back to ponytail CEO Jonathan Schwartz and Novell's recent deal with the Evil Empire of Redmondia. Schwartz wisely said a few years ago in an interview published by "Business 2.0" magazine: "No company has ever done a deal with Microsoft that lasted, they're just naive if they think they can". What more can I say? To quote Mel Brooks' character in the movie Spaceballs: "Never underestimate the power of the Schwartz!" ยต ------ He he. regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
