Thanks for the note, John....I knew I should have taken Latin in school
instead of that FORTRAN IV course.
The leaked memo that Berry v S. points to sheds more light on the
issue......in short, at Oracle " the open source development model has
now been axed and OpenSolaris is officially now dead."

Subject: Re: vale openSolaris
Could someone expound a bit on what "vale openSolaris" refers to, for
those of us that don't follow Oracle/Sun that closely? A Google search
turns up little of use.
Thanks.
"vale" is Latin for "goodbye". Oracle is apparently closing down their support for
OpenSolaris. Oracle does not appear to believe the open software is of much importance. They don't seem to
have much interest that I can see in Java either. And suing Google over Android and its "improper"
use of Java. I don't understand what this latter is about.
