open-standard software including Linux and to lend its expertise in the data
center and carrier-grade markets."

Sun Joins OSDL Posted Aug 5, 2003 17:31 UTC (Tue) by Bryam (guest, #13331) [Link] Who's the next? Oracle? Novell? SGI?...Microsoft? :-) (the last is a joke)I hope that this aditions agree in consensus terms and not in fighting specs like Web services coallitions for example.
Sun Joins OSDL Posted Aug 5, 2003 18:21 UTC (Tue) by djabsolut (guest, #12799) [Link] I suspect that Sun is merely a "fair weather friend" - it seems to be playing cards on all fronts without an idea where it's going... first the suspect intellectual property deal with SCO (involving stock options) and now OSDL. By joining OSDL, Sun is indirectly supporting Linux - I wouldn't be surprised if it jumped ship when the SCO thing gets too heated for its liking.Still, it is better than have them onboard OSDL (for however short time) than not.

Sun Joins OSDL Posted Aug 5, 2003 20:12 UTC (Tue) by Bryam (guest, #13331) [Link] It's mean that Sun is agree with the OSDL's position related to SCO (develop for Eben Monglen)?. Why they support SCO then?
