If you did really understand the problem, why do you still tell people that you
disagree?
Ubuntu et al are all creating distros from a project called "Linux",
we and Sun are all creating distros from a project called "OpenSolaris".
If Sun follows the example of Ubuntu and other Linux distros, we had no problem.
Let Sun just create their trademark from their OpenSolaris distro, but don't
let them call it "OpenSolaris" as no Linux distro is called "Linux".
