If by afraid you mean know that we'll be doing something illegal,
then perhaps that's a partly reasonable interpretation.
I think you're at least underestimating the amount
It's not just blind fear, though, nor is it malice. Looking at the
staggering amount of code we've been able to release so far, I'm a bit
baffled how anyone could even begin to think that we're holding back
out of spite.

Is it also a matter of resources that you don't allow (even

And what is with the
Dunno about the frame buffers, but perhaps libC contains 3rd party IP,
and Sun's license to use it prohibits redistribution by other parties?
I believe that's one of the reasons why you and I are not allowed to

Or is it that you yourself don't believe in sparc anymore.
Sun believes in SPARC servers such as the Sun Fire T1000/T2000, but
