Does this even matter, now that Oracle has abused and fucked Opensolaris to death? A lot of people want to fork and keep the project out of Oracle's dirty hands after Oracle did much damage to the community, projects and the Solaris product itself. I think we're better WITHOUT Oracle, or say without Oracle's current policy of muzzling employees which work on OPEN projects, without killing projects run by the community and without treating the opensource developers like slaves. If you ask for my opinion: The Sun and Oracle's dictatorship never worked and was just a waste of money and nerves. Opensolaris should ho the phoenix way: Die and be reborn as a free project where Oracle is a just community member among EQUALS, a real opensource MERITOCRACY.
