Nonetheless she is wrong to characterise the opinion of the Solaris
engineering team in the way she does. She is speaking this way because
she lost an argument inside Sun, not because her view is representative
of the views of Sun or its staff in the way she claims. She, along with
many actual engineers, was an advocate of using GPL for OpenSolaris but
the need to release rather than wait for one of {GPL v3, Mozilla license
revision, encumbrance removal} meant that this was not possible. I am
still furious with her for the statement she made at DebConf, which was
spiteful and an obstacle to a united FOSS movement.
Simon, are you going to make a statement / write an open letter
to her etc which will set things straight?
