>>I didn't think Oracle had what it takes to really be about open source, this >>proves that.
As much as I am disappointed with the end result of this whole OpenSolaris drama, I still cannot find myself to agree with the above excerpt. Oracle works heavily with Linux. In fact they are sponsoring Chris Mason's development of the GPL'd Btrfs file system. They also developed and GPL'd the OCFS. This is on top of other lesser known management tools which all are focused toward their Red Hat based Unbreakable Linux distribution (and in some cases outside of that). While all of this never defined them as an open source company, they seem to spend a lot of time and money contributing back to the community. What the real reason(s) for not wanting to work with OpenSolaris are....this answer we may never figure out. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
