A few years ago, I started noticing the amount of work and faith Sun put in the Free Software Comunity, helping out in the Mozilla, GNOME and Open Office projects, I kept and eye on them ever since.
Now I see that Sun’s CEO Jonathan Schwartz explaining how Sun handled it’s “dark days” and they saw the light, he had this to say on the Microsoft interview in Fortune, .
no amount of fear can stop the rise of free media, or free software (they are the same, after all). The community is vastly more innovative and powerful than a single company. And you will never turn back the clock on elementary school students and developing economies and aid agencies and fledgling universities - or the Fortune 500 - that have found value in the wisdom of the open source community. Open standards and open source software are literally changing the face of the planet - creating opportunity wherever the network can reach.
That’s not a genie any litigator I know can put back in a bottle.
kudos Jonathan.
