Oh please, you just bash Sun because it's the fashionable thing to do on Slashdot these days.

As other posters pointed out, what about the usability engineers Sun put on Gnome? Or the work they did on Apache/TomCat, or OpenOffice?

btw if you don't think OpenOffice is free, why don't you fork it?

Also Sun is a company and it's in business to make money, not to please OSS developers. Yes, it has taken from the OSS world but who can blame them? If you didn't want ppl taking advantage of the OSS code written , under whatever License (be it BSD or GPL) then perhaps you just should have released it under another license...

You can't stop someone from using software released under $FREE_LICENSE just because you don't like them.

It's a shame that Linus doesn't want to change, becuase Roman's system is realy great: faster, easier, and at the moment it still leaves the old system as default...
