] "We're hoping that people may be happy to download this ] commercial version of Solaris and basically use it at no ] charge to convince themselves that it's as cool as they ] think it is," said Mark McLain, vice president for ] software marketing at Sun. Solaris is not cool. More to the point, this proves just how badly Sun misunderstands open-source and free software. Free as in freedom, not beer.
