I find this incessant Blastwave promotion patently unfair. How come none of the Blastwave promoters ever mentions the work done by Steve Christensen with Sunfreeware, or the work done by The Written Word ? And i am quite certain they are others i forget right now. There was a time, not so long ago, when Sunfreeware was the *only* where GNU/OpenSource software for Solaris was available for download. Sunfreeware *still* maintains and publishes packages for Solaris, on both X86 and SPARC. So does The Written Word. The reason i am involved with KDE and OpenSolaris is because i believe that individuals are entitled to certain freedom rights insofar as software is concerned, and because i believe that freedom, openness, honesty and fair play foster creativity and innovation. Openness, honesty and fair play carry a responsibility on the part of those involved in free software: one must be willing to take a back seat in this show, because the show is not about particular distributions, or individuals, but about freedom, innovation and creativity. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
