Yikes! That's a rather pessimistic reading, isn't it?
The copyright of any code, even for free and open source software, is
owned by someone. What matters is what they have licensed it to be used
for. Last I checked, the OSI considers SISSL to be open source.
Feel free to call me naive, but this announcement sounds like good news to
me - Oracle were clearly not interested in gridengine. Congratulations to
Fritz, the engineers and Univa :)
