Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y "There's been a lot of talk on lists and blogs about an exchange between Linus Torvalds, Jonathan Schwartz and Theo de Raadt regarding licensing and documentation. It all started with a 'cynical' message from Linus about Sun's motivation with regard to Open Source. Jonathan Schwartz responded by extending Linus a dinner invitation. What? The romance was briefly interrupted by a message from Theo pointing out the doublespeak."

Theo is spot on with his criticisns: Sun has poor harware documentation for a chip (OpenSparc) that is supposed to be a free (as in freedom) platform.

Another poster commented that ZFS has patents and Sun won't give patent indemity for it.
