Yes, this sucks. But it was not Operas fault. It was Oracle which stepped over the line. The short story is: The Opera staff asked - as usual - for help to circumvent a Solaris bug. The (new) response, totally the opposite from Sun's helpful behavior of the past was: 1. Opera did not purchase support for Solaris 2. Without support Oracle will not answer technical questions or provide ANY help 3. Opera uses the SOLARIS trademark without permission 4. Opera will have to buy a full year of support for 502018 Euro to obtain questions to their answers 502018 Euro for WHAT? How crazy is Oracle? They provided one of the best browsers on the planet for Solaris and Oracle did what? Ask for money? IMO the manager responsible at Oracle should be fired. The Opera legal folks is looking into whether Oracle's emails can be published or not.
