I think there have been enough community members making statements for  
general consumption, and Sun's response ought to come from the  
business unit that staffs Opensolaris (of which I am no longer a part,  
having moved to a new corporate location a few months back). Of  
course, if they don't act I may well consider this, just not on Sun's  
behalf...

As to the Linux community: The Linux Foundation may have "Linux" in  
its name but it's a corporate-funded marketing organisation, which  
Zemlin demonstrates clearly here. I recommend that we avoid  
criticising the Linux community or indeed any other open source  
community, whatever rocks may be thrown.
