“Given how cloudy Sun’s relationship with developers has been
over code control in Java and OpenOffice, for example, and given
the almost-certain internal Sun turmoil that will exist in the wake
of a failed IBM bid, I can’t see Sun’s relations with its various
open-source communities improving in the near term. Sun’s
open-source communities are somewhat reliant on Sun, so the health
of Sun, the company, has a direct impact on the health of Sun, the
code.”
Sun’s board may have a lot of explaining to do
