any chance you can get them to open source the SunRay software? ;-)
Nope - no business reason to justify spending the required amount of
time/effort to open source it. Open sourcing existing software is
not just flipping a switch - as anyone who lived through the early
days of OpenSolaris can tell you. It's a lot of human effort to
dig through ancient records to determine if you have all the rights
to do so, and to ensure you're not releasing anything that may
violate NDA's or require a patent license to use.
Doing that for a product you've killed off and aren't making any more
money from is not very likely unless you've got some big partner or
customer willing to make it worth the expense.
