Linux with an attitude (the Schwartz/Jones Sun debate)







Linux with an attitude (the
Schwartz/Jones Sun debate)

Linux with an attitude (the
Schwartz/Jones Sun debate)
04/30/2004 09:10 AM

In a recent weblog I highlighted Sun's odd status in the industry's evolution to free software. I pointed out there that Sun has a verbally ambivalent and even fearful attitude toward free software, and that they still take strong actions in support of it, including their heavy investment in GNOME and their choice to release the overwhelming bulk of StarOffice as the open source OpenOffice.org. You can't always get the best information about a trend by scrutinizing the statements of a corporate executive; like politicians, executives sometimes have to say one thing while doing another. Sometimes they have to take a step in one direction in order to balance a more significant step in the opposite direction. I believe Sun is wedded to proprietary software and will lag behind many other companies in adopting free software, but they can still make significant steps toward the latter.

Schwartz.pngI just asked Jonathan Schwartz a question about Eclipse and SWT and what Sun thought of that.

He said that Java 1.5 was teh solution. He admitted that Sun had dropped the ball on the client side - but that there were 350M cell phone out there running Java.

I say "Right On!" get Java to work!

The thought of getting semi-filtered thoughts from a high-level executive in an more open way is refreshing. But then I actually read his first post and tried to evaluate his weblog based on what he said: What's a blog? It's basically an on-line journal - a whitespace - that updates from the top (most recent posts appear first) into which...
