Shiv, Let me just add a couple comments here. No matter what I or anyone else believes, at the end of the day everything needs to go through legal, we just do not have a choice as Sun requires that to protect themself. I have put my neck on the line to go up against legal for some issues that I didn't feel were correct, and in the end it cause a lot of frustration for everyone, the legal team, my manager, and myself. It did help me understand more just why legal is so complicated in itself. It's not a choice, we need to use them for anything that anyone from Sun does, they are the folks that look after us. They are also the ones that have the most knowledge about open source software at Sun and/or how it applies to our sources. -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
