IBM & Sun Agreement Puts Pressure on HP

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the things-heating-up dept.

eldavojohn writes "IBM has turned to long time rival Sun in an effort to bring Solaris to its mainframes. Sun may be taking this chance to drop out of the server market while at the same time capture Solaris subscriptions via IBM sales. Either way, this certainly pressures HP in the server department."

    I am with Linus on this one. For the life of me I can't understand what this sucking up to RMS is about. Linus himself does not think GPLv3 is a good thing. So why do people keep adopting it.
    Without Linus FOSS is tossed. Not following Linus is dangerous for the survival of FOSS.
