News Comment This is a comment on news story: OpenSolaris will challenge Linux says Sun It's a reply to comment: Problem with this is..... by: nycace36  SUN is tryng to target developers who may be already employed by MS or who already develop for the various flavors of Linux. One has to also consider who is doing the targeting and who is being targeted by gearing up OpenSolaris. Are the main "Targeters" really the ones at SUN with very keen SUN-centric business interests -- "the bottom line"? Is OpenSolaris intended primarily for the server room, sysadmins, the end-user/desktop, ..... what else?? Are the "Targeted" specifically those SUN-employed developers -or- members of the Open Source community already heavily involved with developing software for Linux or other non-SUN Open Source projects??? Given any differences between the various licenses OPen and UnOPen Solaris may have as opposed to sole use of the GPL(now at v3), what better carrot can the SUN Targeters attract Targeted developers???? The OpenSolaris news should raise a number of these key questions Open Source developers regarding OpenSolaris' implementation and acceptance.
