Sun Spokesman Says "We Screwed Up On Open Source"

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we-know-we-know dept.

An anonymous reader sends along a video from Builder AU, in which Sun's chief open source officer Simon Phipps describes 2001-2002 as 'a period where Sun 'screwed up' in their dealings with the open source community. Phipps says that Sun is trying to remedy the situation with the open sourcing of Java, Solaris, and the rest of Sun's software."

    True, but the cat is out of the bag now. They could have open sourced java years ago and really make a difference. Right now I only remember their stupid forms I needed to complete on their website to download the Linux version.
