In correct, it became about CCD & sunfreeware vs. Blastwave when Sun bought Steven C, the head of Sunfreeware and combined it to be one entitity and created what will become the Sun and OpenSolaris blessed distrobution of freeware. > The arguments seen in this thread are based on personal > emotion and feelings of resentment, not whats best for the end users, > Sun customers, or even the community at large. > CCD has never been about what is best for the community at large it was about creating a group of opensource software that had Sun's blessing. Sun refuses to bless blastwave thus makes it the lesser community. > The discussion has been unproductive since 12:25pm PST yesterday when > Jim accepted the seconded proposal and asked Eric to setup the project > space. > > The appropriate course of action is to be involved in the forth going > project and to help guide it such that Blastwave and SFW don't compete, > but complement each other to such an extent as that is possible. Sorry I'm not taking part of any such discussion, the entire Companion project needs to die. Linus Torvalds has not blessed anyone Linux distribution, it would be best if Sun did not bless any one distribution outside of Solaris and SolarisExpress. Now to add insult to injury they want the OpenSolaris community to do all the work and bless it over the pre-existing community.
