And GCC too, since that's GPL. actually, the whole of /usr/sfw should go... too much GPL... what a joke of an argument.
I believe that once you've chosen a DE, the main parameter in the equation is cost. Sun has invested a lot of money in Gnome, so there would have to be a great reason to switch to KDE and supporting 2 DE's is just not cost effective, specially if there is not enough customer interest. However, this has nothing to do with an eventual KDE opensolaris project. Not every opensolaris project will ship with Solaris, sun's distribution, and if anyone things otherwise, then he is part of the community for at least one of the wrong reasons. There is nothing wrong about having a community mantained kde port for opensolaris nacho _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
