I think too many people are too critical of legal counsel. Without legal counsel and advice OpenSolaris couldn't have happened! Even the "popular" open source licenses out there all relied on legal counsel for their creation. I for one applaud SUN's legal counsel for taking on a monumentally scary legal task where one bad decision could mean very angry stockholders. -Shawn This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
