2. As I asserted just a few minutes ago in a message you must have
read because you replied to it, /I have not made up my mind/.
Considering various views and facts is not the same as opposition.
From your emails, I got the impression that you favoured
dual-licensing. My apologies for misreading your comments.
This discussion was about talking to "the community", and I guess the
problem is: how do you do that? This mailing list is probably the best
thing that is available for such a conversation. As with all community
mailing lists, the number of people subscribed to it is smaller than the
number of users out there, and only a smaller subset of those people
will speak out on any subject. And we don't really know how big the
community is in the first place (number of opensolaris.org registered
user ids is probably the closest thing we have). It could be that this
mailing list is not an accurate representation of the community, but I
think it's the best thing we've got for discussions like this.
