Discussion isn't marketing (maybe), but GPLing Solaris to in order to *try* and win more developers over from the Linux camp would be an attempt at marketing. Because that's the idea with GPLing Solaris, isn't it? > I think our marketing should focus on OpenSolaris to > help build the > OpenSolaris community. That's it.

Perhaps I'm not better, but we most certainly have people in our community that are absolute geniuses, that know UNIX inside and out and know it good, and that have the deep insights and the expertise to be able to produce a superior product. We have the kind of ingenuity and expertise that the GNU/Linux community at large can only dream of. The problem is, there are not very many such people. We are a comparatively small community.
