Didn’t Sun promise ‘protection’ to StarOffice users after a deal with Microsoft?

Ever wonder why they are moving Mono from LGPL while also spreading FUD every once in a while about how it is evil and all? If this was just about letting people make proprietary programs that run Mono, they just needed the LGPL. They seem to be intentionally missing the Cedega debacle… I’ll tell you what they will do, they will fork Mono into proprietary and open, instantly after that MS will give blessing only to prop. Mono while the other will be just like a shareware for them. Thanks to pseudo-pragmatic users, certain ill-intentioned developers and people who are just guilty of indifference, distros’ defaults by then would be dependent on Mono. But CEOs will not feel like getting something that brings the non MS-blessed, limited version of “Linux .net”… So they will stick to SLED, the only distro that brings “Linux .net”…

An anonymous person makes a statement about an unverifiable and inane conversion about something commonplace rivalry between competing companies.

This is world shattering news. Breaking news.

And even more inane commentary about how we all should fear anyone who contributes to Linux (or any other open source project).

Can you make even more inane comments and “analysis” in the future? Don’t miss the next chapters of “The Utah Connection”, the next generation soap opera.

With Mr. Schestowitz in every role, from writer, director to every acting position.

Note: comment has been flagged for arriving from an incarnation of a known (eet), pseudonymous, forever-nymshifting, abusive Internet troll that posts from open proxies and relays around the world.
