To be honest, I think you /sometimes/ have to take what Jonathan blogs about with a pinch of salt... part of his job (and hence part of the reason for his blog's existence) is to get people talking about Sun, and Sun's software in particular. And if there's one surefire way to get the industry journalists biting your hand off for a story, it's to mention "Solaris" and "GPL" in the same sentence :) That's not to say that Sun isn't looking very closely at GPLv3 and where it might be applicable to Sun's software stack-- I'm sure all the right people are doing just that. But personally I think it's way too early to be getting ourselves in a fankle about it. All totally IMHO, of course :) Cheeri, Calum. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Java Desktop System Group http://ie.sun.com +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
