Given SUN's payment of $200million to SCO (for not alot of stuff IMHO), the reliability of "SUN" as a "Linux partner" comes into question - slam Linux, then provide middleware for it.
how do you know what sun paid sco for?
If SUN wishes to get the OSS world to start using Studio 11 as the compiler of choice for Linux, then SUN needs to mend ALOT of bridges with the OSS community - how about offering a version for FreeBSD, have double the participation?
I see, providing a compiler for freebsd will really help sun with linux Porting the compiler to linux is a big step forward, now all sun needs to do is show people it has a better software than the everyone else I'd like to see the compiler included with Solaris too, iirc someone told me it's being taken care of, i dont know, i guess it's wait and see
<rant> As a side note, why the heck doesn't Sun opensource Java, JFC! the money is made off the middleware, not the framework. As for an "internal debate" - excuse me Johnnathon, but who is running the company? make a damn decision, and those who don't like it, show them the door.
please, stop with that, the middleware only works because the framework is stable. While i would like to see an opensource java all the possible outcomes must be considered, give them time; in the meantime if you want to contribute to java you can do so with the current license, gpl zealots will only be happy if java is gpld anyway nacho _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
