Sun did no such thing.
You can not force a person to do anything they either can't or won't do.
You can't force Sun to contribute work any more than Sun can force
you to. If Sun isn't contributing work to the PowerPC effort, fine,
there is no stopping you from doing work on opensolaris.org without Sun.
There are plenty of projects (including platform ports) going on that
aren't involving Sun in any way.
Looks like you missunderstand the problem:
The fact that there was a promise from some people from Sun to contribute,
people outside Sun did wait for this to happen. After giving up that hope,
the ppc porting project may proceed again.
Where or not Sun failed to deliver on that promise does not "force"
someone to fork. There is no need to create a dependency on what Sun
promises to do. You can give up waiting and continue the work on your
own within the current project realms.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to forking. If people want to work
on the project somewhere else under another umbrella, that is
*completely fine* with me. Just don't blame others for it.
cheers,
steve
