i completely disagree. i work for a fortune 50 company and we have a hell of a time with the legal department or other people who refuse to think it's okay to speak frankly about things in their company. obviously trade secrets and other things aside, i think it is ultimately beneficial and helps a company feel more accountable when it allows direct public exchange with employees and not through spin-educated marketeers or public relation folk. i don't expect anyone from sun on the zfs list would tell us anything other than their personal opinion. i appreciate it too. from reading forums and mailing lists, to having sun volunteer 6? people to help memcached continue to flourish, i think sun is a role model for a company who continues to profit but has figured out that certain things can be free and ultimately they are helping make more mature products and encourage innovation. they also would get the bonus of having things like memcached run better on their platforms then too :) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
