good browser and java combo?

[Han Hwei Woo]

For someone on a BSD mailing list, you sure sound like a Linuz zealot.

1) Sun & IBM have made major contributions to the development of Linux. What
do you think SCO is accusing IBM of?
2) The GPL already does prevent all works and derivate works to be sold for
profit, and is quite restrictive in that sense. It's the BSD license that
allows for commercial use.
3) Solaris has many advanced technologies that are still in their infancy on
Linux.

I guess in this world it will always come down to politics and money. As Mr.
Franklin said" there are always two things in life you can count on, death
and taxes". I am all for opensrc code, however i think the GPL and opensrc
community should change their license to disallow government and large
companies from taking the technology and using it for their own profit and
or against us. Look at Sun and IBM, they all have their own brand of linux
and several are using linux and bsd servers / computers to support their
business. They take, take and take but give nothing in return.  I say change
the license and make them shell out millions on inferior proprietary
operating systems such as slowaris.
