Hopefully I'm not hitting a sore spot here, but bring back OpenSolaris and the answer becomes simpler. The Microsoft and VMWare devs have similar challenges in this regard because if you attempt to combine your proprietary software with our free software, then it's not something we're going to be able to test upstream (and the burden to prove that it's working and soundly maintained is substantially greater than if what you're integrating is also free software). -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
