Plus they have maybe 40,000 sellers and users decreasing its value and efficiency by selling counterfeit goods, selling at a low price with ridiculous postages fees, using stolen credit cards and other blatant fraud.
I am not a Sun employee, but I am a Java dev., and I would like to remind people of Sun's contributions to open source over the years. While the press communications of executives have muddied the waters, Sun have done more in the past for open source than a certain "Think Free" company. That company pressed for open sourcing Java and then bitched about the choice of the GPL.
I would love to see the source to Websphere (not the Geronimo 'Websphere' product, but the real deal).
Not the most innocent victim here, however this is a small but significant step in the rise of companies who has ostensibly "defensive" patent strategies show their true colours. Microsofts noises about patents and Linux is part of the same trend.

Answer: Yes. Both.
Doctor: What seems to be the matter?
Patient: I have a friend who has a medical problem, and he is not sure who to ask.
Doctor: And what are the symptoms you friend is reporting?
Patient: Erm, my friend has a red rash and a burning sensation when he takes a piss.
Doctor: Have you seen the rash? Describe it for me.
Patient: Yeah, red weeping pimples which are white in the middle, erm, he showed me a photograph.
Doctor: Here is a prescription and a leaflet on safe sex. Oh, and stop seeing my daughter, or I will fuck you up.
Patient: She gave it to me. My friend. Yes, my friend.
I kid. Really, I kid.
Intel make AMD compatible 64-bit CPUs!
Those of us who have observed the industry for decades have gotta love that.
The Great-Great-Grandparent post didn't say I was ripping the piss either. But I expect it is a prerequisite.
Negotiable at all? I have a bag of magic beans here. Would they take them?
When you apply for a job with IBM, do they show you the Websphere source? Why?
What is this supposed to do for their recruitment efforts?
They are freeing up the crown jewels, and the significance of that fact should not be underestimated. Free as in 'gratis' and free as in 'libre'.

If I am waiting for an internet, and it is taking days because of some asshole using a dumptruck in any of these 100 million sites, I am going to wring his neck!

>I have limited faith in the sysinternals app from having things "break out" and run as the regular user.

Take a vacation.
These will be very rare collectors items in a few years.
Can you be sued in American courts? Can they prevent the distribution in America?
Maybe it was a prescient comment on Hawkings prospects in cosmology? :-)
Not that wide of the mark given how Hawking is percieved *within* his field, rather than by the public, and the progress he's made since.
