Sun and corporate open source

Sun and corporate open source

This is very similar to the situation with Nokia's Maemo-based Internet Tablets (e.g. the 770,
N800, N810 and N810W). It's an open source base but with very little community involvement,
exactly because Nokia want too much control.

I wrote something about this, including what I've termed the "open source triangle": Community
involvement, Openness and Control are all pulling in different directions:

Of course, OpenSolaris and OO.o are much bigger projects - and more important to Sun - than
Maemo is to Nokia, but it's interesting to see both these big companies have very similar
problems.
