it kind of proves a point to all those nay sayers that said that Sun had nothing to offer the open source community



what point, SUN still choose not to GPL solaris and java?

Happycamper's post should not be modded down. It's not offensive, nor off-topic, nor spam.

However, modding it up wouldn't be correct either.

BTW: It's Open Source != GPL.

GPL _is_ Open Source, however Open Source is not necessarily GPL.

GPL is a hard core Open Source license, supported by hard core Open Source people, and has viral effect to make every applications that link to a GPL infected application to be a GPL application (hence, also GPL infected).
