Sun fires back over Open Source Java accusations | |
|
||
| Time: 15:12 EST/20:12 GMT | News Source: PCPro.co.uk | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||
|
Sun has offered a frank response to the open letter from Eric S, Raymond, President, Open Source Initiative, in which he called on Sun to make its Java platform Open Source and described the company's Open Source strategy as 'spotty' and 'confused'. 'I'd say this is 100 per cent rant,' Sun's Chief Technology Evangelist, Simon Phipps told us. 'His simplistic accusations don't hold water... If this is the way that Open Source treats its friends, I'd hate to see how it treats its enemies.' | ||

| If Sun were a real friend to Open Source, they'd give up the code to Solaris and all of their servers, they'd release Java, etc. The reality is that Scott is a liar out for publicity, Raymond called him on it, and Sun won't put it's money (or IP) where Scott's mouth is. |

Since when were OSS and Java friends?
*shh...* don't tell the media, Java really isn't open. It's less open than .NET, even though they call Java "open" and .NET proprietary. *shh...* |

| With friends like Sun, who needs enemas... I mean, enemies. |

Lucky Sun. Everybody knows that when the Open Source Initiative gets on your case... you WIN. Look at MSFT. OSI speaks up against them, and MSFT rattles off 3 years of record revenues and profits.
I guess Sun is finally ready to stop losing money (13 straight quarters, right?). |

Halcyon-X12 - No, sadly for once parker is right.
The OSS fanatics do want everything to be under the control of the GPL. |
