> /dale I can't agree with this. I think the processes are more of an issue than any contributor agreement. Not only that, I don't think an OpenSolaris ORG will somehow magically make the people that have second thoughts about this feel any better. The organization will likely be seen merely as a puppet of SUN if it existed (even if it isn't!). Many people have accused RedHat of the same thing with Fedora and they don't have a contributor agreement as far as I know. So I don't see how this matters... -Shawn This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
