How about this one. Sun Solaris contains bash, gtar, gzip, etc. Does
that make it not Sun Solaris? RedHat Enterprise Linux, contains bash,
gtar, gzip, etc. Does that not make it *RedHat* Enterprise Linux?

I don't see what there is to disagree about. Making these kinds of
analogies only hurts your credibility. It seems you are making up
arguments to justify your position that OpenSolaris=Indiana, and that
it is not Sun/Ian Murdock/Sun Marketing execs unilaterally making this
decision.

(BTW - Just because you happen to agree with the decision doesn't mean
you are making it either.)

Fact is going into the Summit, I was for it also, but the heavy
handedness of how Sun's OpenSolaris marketing team is handling the
Indiana naming process, has turned me off on the whole idea of
OpenSolaris = Indiana.
