New name for Sun -- indian giver

It seems Sun has a problem understanding GPL, and similar Free Software/Open Source Software type licenses and projects today.



Their insistence on control has left them in an increasingly isolated position." "Without IBM, Sun could never have built the success Java has enjoyed. Without Sun, however, the IBM-led Eclipse group has been making great strides.




The <A HREF="http://www.newsforge.com/comments.pl?sid=35776&cid=85249" TITLE="newsforge.com">new Sun is smarter than that</a newsforge.com>. You can trust them




Yeah.



Unix will be back. Really, it will. Customers will return to Solaris one day! After all, if <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1210897,00.asp" TITLE="eweek.com">schwartz said it</a eweek.com>, it must be true.



Schwartz, however, sees the fad of Linux wearing off in big businesses.



"There will be a transition back to Solaris," <A HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/32880.html" TITLE="theregister.co.uk">he said</a theregister.co.uk>

The "fad will wear off, and <A HREF="http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid39_gci928789,00.html" TITLE="techtarget.com">big business will come back</a techtarget.com> to solaris".




Sun, don't worry, everything is great. Everybody else should <A HREF="http://www.newsforge.com/comments.pl?sid=33368&threshold=0&commentsort=0&mode=thread&tid=&cid=73123" TITLE="newsforge.com">wake up and smell the java</a newsforge.com>



And I'll trust an enterprise deployment to a company with individual leaders with the brains to make the above statements on the record.
