Ecco il
parere di Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) a proposito dell'acquisizione di Sun. La risposta è molto breve ma interessante:
(11:21:04 AM) jcastro: <ronaldh> QUESTION: Mark, How do you see the Oracle-Sun deal, do you think it is going to affect Open source projects like Java, OpenOffice, etc? Is it going to affect in some way ubuntu?
(11:21:18 AM) sabdfl: it will definitely affect them, but it's too soon to know for sure how
(11:21:36 AM) sabdfl: we'll have to see whether Oracle makes any big initial moves (selling off or shutting down any projects)
(11:21:49 AM) sabdfl: then we'll need to see if the people who were engaged there are changed
(11:21:55 AM) sabdfl: and then we'll need to see how the dust settles
(11:22:05 AM) sabdfl: that will take three months, a year, three years respectively
(11:22:16 AM) sabdfl: the code is still free software, that cannot be taken back
(11:22:31 AM) sabdfl: if you're passionate about those projects the best thing to do is to participate, imo
(11:22:42 AM) sabdfl: i'm not worried about any of those
