Let's not get all soft about OpenSolaris now ... all public companies are very, very greedy. They exist solely to make money. It's awesome that they make things that are useful, but it's just a way to meet the main objective: make money and lots of it. In fact, as much as they possibly can. Sun didn't open source Solaris out of the goodness of its heart or some misguided CSR program. They did it because they were desperate. Sun's business plan happened to be helped along by open sourcing Solaris, but that doesn't make Sun less greedy. Oracle: very, very greedy Apple: very, very greedy Microsoft: very, very greedy Sun: [was] very, very greedy (just not good at it) Fortune 1000: very, very greedy ... _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
