- Um, what benefit is there to Sun?
-
Honestly, I see no real monatary benefit to Sun if they release the license to Linux. Yes I am sure there is a "warm and fuzzy" factor in it, but real bottom line dollars? Not really.
Given how the board (as well as the stockholders) have been burned by giving code, or a license to the code away, I don't see this happening anytime soon.
Be interesting to see how it works out... - Posted by: No_Ax_to_Grind Posted on: 01/31/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use

Could it be that this may lead to increased sales of Sun hardware?
