Point 1 - if this sort of behavior is condoned who is to say that the same thing could not happen with OpenSolaris Point 2 - It is important that Sun shows it can responsibly guide and/or participate an Open Source community, whether that is OpenJDK, OPenDS or OpenSolaris Point 3 - As a participant in OpenSolaris and the broader Open Source community I would definitely like to see people treated fairly. Fair enough this does not relate directly to OpenSolaris but I do think they are of interest to the community. Point 4 - Needs no explanation Point 5 - Not directly related, I agree - I just wouldn't mind knowing So maybe your question should have been "What do 1 of the above 5 questions have to do with OpenSolaris?"
