Any more than they already are? Budget conscious orgs already have many free alternatives so that argument falls flat. Even Oracle offers Linux with their x86 server sales. If they're trying /that/ hard to push Solaris 11, why sell Oracle Linux at all? Would suing a couple of fledgling open source projects really send droves of new Solaris 11 licensees to Oracle? Why do people have this impression that corporations are staffed at all levels by mustache twisting villains? Have you met your local Oracle reps recently? How about your local Microsoft reps? Cisco? IBM? Intel? Ask them about their kids, their next vacation, and their current plans for world domination? Seriously, whiskey tango foxtrot? -Gary _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
