I'm left wondering what's relly going on here though....
Rehat and IBM criticize Sun for Java, Sun turns around and criticizes
IBM for it's policies with Websphere (which is basically what Sun is
doing with Java). Redhat is watching Solaris go open-source under CDDL...
So what is in the GPL world, or more importnatly, what is outside the
GPL world that Sun wants to use within the GPL world?...:)
Gotta be Solaris or Java for the outside, but what's on the inside of
GPL that he wants to use with Solaris? Is Redhat under GPL? Is it
something of Redhat origin? the whole thing seems to be more directed at
IBM...
The article mentions three still propietary softwares in IBM possession.
Sun has java left after Solaris, right?
Hmmmmmmm....he wants IBM to play some cards first (websphere?). Before
they show what? Java?
The one that seems to stand to benefit the most from all this would be
RedHat and Linux if it all played out....
