Sun: We screwed up on open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Many open source developers remain sceptical of Sun because their memories of
| the company focus on Sun's interactions with the community in 2001/2002,
| which Sun's chief open source officer Simon Phipps concedes was a period
| where Sun "screwed up".
|
| [...]
|
| "We've open sourced Java [...] and people see that and they say 'wow, you've
| GPLed Java, you must be serious!'

| Sun has discovered the exact same thing. Freedom sells. Or, rather,
| services around freedom sell. The freedom itself is, well, free.
