    Sun And Communities

    If you had the misunderstanding that Sun's idea of an open source community had anything to do with what the rest of the world called a community I'd strongly urge you to read this OpenSolaris mailing list thread.

    I think the attitude from some Sun.com posters along with the CDDL + GPL + Proprietary kernel drivers mess should make it painfully obvious what the Sun "community" model is: Make all the decisions internally, throw some code over wall once in a while, and market the beta releases as "Community Releases". And if some suckers from the outside world happen to fix a couple bugs for us all the better.
