All actual open source software has a copyright owner, so that claim is false by definition. If there was no copyright owner, it would be "public domain", not "open source." This is what allows entities like the FSF to file lawsuits when the terms of their open source licenses are not followed. > now it appears they are about to fork the linux kernel I think you need to check your facts more - look who are in the top ten corporate contributors to the upstream Linux kernel and you'll see Oracle: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/docs/lf_linux_kernel_development_2010.pdf The "Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel" forks the kernel RPM's from the Red Hat ones previously used in Oracle Enterprise Linux, but is still the GPL-licensed Linux kernel, and is in fact closer to the upstream than before. There's plenty of actual things to complain about Oracle doing without making up new false ones. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
