Sun outlines its open source strategy and MySQL integration
,----[ Quote ]
| How long has Sun been involved with open source software and why? What's its
| vision?
| Barton George: Open source is inevitable, and we are choosing to lead. Open
| source is a part of Sun's heritage and the idea of sharing. Right from its
| work on the NFS [Network File System] file server, Sun has made open
| standards a part of its strategy going back to the GNOME project. Now open
| source has moved from a side effort to become Sun's main software strategy,
| the way we develop and distribute our software. And one way is to contribute
| to existing projects.

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