We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

Not necessarily saying it is proprietary. But what I AM saying is that vendor lockin is just as much a fact of life in the Linux world as it is in the Solaris world or Windows world"
oh i get support from novell and progeny for Linux unlike just sun for solaris
Vendor lock in is NOT a part of the Linux world. its part of the "proprietary" world which includes oracle. switch oracle with postgres or mysql or your vendor lock in problem disappears. so what ties you to redhat and novell is not linux but oracle
so claiming that redhat is proprietary is LIE. clame that oracle is proprietary and it creates lock in with redhat it *might* be true but thats only true because others didnt take the effort to guarantee ABI and lifecyle and get a oracle certified platform other than novell and redhat
"What is the problem ? "
hey I DID NOT claim it was a problem. I was supporting Redhat.
"I understand your points, but GNU Classpath is really, really not maintained by Red Hat.
I completely agree. I never said it was maintained by Redhat just that Redhat has a good stake in it and relies on it for competitive performance case in point: jonas support
