Who's Nudds and why are you so obsessed with him? Does he p0wn you that
badly or something that you need to hide from him.
Instead of hiding and playing games why don't you simply address the
question.
If IBM is so damn committed to Open Source as you say then on what date will
IBM be releasing the source code to all of their propreitary software that
they sell. When can we get the source code to their OS's, compilers,
databases, ETL software, network management tools and etc. After all, IBM is
so committed to Open Source that I'm sure they'll be releasing the source
code to all of their code real soon. Right?
Of course not. IBM isn't stupid. They only pay lip-service to open source to
keep zealots like you happy but the fact is that IBM is not commited to open
source any more than Oracle or Microsoft is committed to open sores.
