What ever Sun does, they do it completely voluntarily, just like everybody else here. I firmly believe that it is truly unjust to expect that just because Sun has done so much to further the cause of OpenSolaris, Sun must be made to bear the brunt of OpenSolaris demands and expectations. Sun has done more than enough, they've given us a state of the art operating environment, with state of the art development tools costing thousands of USD, they help out with the hardware infrastructure and administrative work. In reality, however, Sun is not obligated to do any of those things, they didn't have to do them and it was really, really nice of them to do so. Even if they had other motives, actions speak much louder than words, so it was still really, really nice of them to do so. That, however, doesn't entitle anyone to expect Sun to do XYZ or to press demands on them. If you want to press demands on Sun, buy a commercial support contract and go with Solaris 10. That's fair. You give something and you get something in return. This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
