Sun's open source strategy questioned
,----[ Quote ]
| The company has been offering up to open source crown jewels such as its Java
| platform and the Solaris OS. Singer, who was vice president of Global
| Information Systems Strategy at Sun, stressed that he agreed with a lot of
| the open source efforts, such as open-sourcing Solaris and Java. But he said
| he thought the company was over-emphasizing open source when it should have
| been focusing on generating revenues; he disagreed with new CEO Jonathan
| Schwartz about the effort and this was one reason Singer left the company in
| March after having been at Sun since 2003.

Cisco reseller insults open source
,----[ Quote ]
| I believe that open source is something to be proud of and not the liability
| that you claim it to be. Cisco claims to have developed their own operating
| system, but I doubt that they started from scratch. What they probably did is
| base it on BSD-licensed code, since there is no requirement to redistribute
| their modifications. This is yet another reason to support the GPL over BSD
| type licenses.
