1) IMO it's not about a revolt, nor would one do any good unless you know of enough alternative developers that you don't need code from their employees anymore. 2) figure out how to convince someone influential at Oracle (_not_ a bunch of developers, who probably don't like these rules any better than you do; in other words, probably nobody here) that it's likely to cost them lost profits if they don't make their silence policy a bit more realistic when dealing with open source projects. Their eye is pretty clearly on the bottom line, which is fine (if one could ignore the bottom line, we would still have Sun and wouldn't have to put up with Oracle), but that means you have to get their attention accordingly. Or maybe not you, but some place that currently spends megabucks with Oracle... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
