hi there,
well ... finally... sun follows the gpl - that's nice ;-)

far too late though for several of our customers who decided to switch
away when we tried to explain that we can't build proper modules for a
box that we don't get the kernel-source for....
(while we recommended the box because of its support before)

well, we can now try to convince them that sun has listened, but then
my question rises up: will this policy last or is this "just for the moment"?
