The foreign clone Linux has stolen lots of business from US businesses like Sun, who has laid off thousands of engineers, while the Linux mob cheered.
Sun did what few expected though, and released their Solaris O/S under a (non-GPL) open source license, which has seriously slowed Linux's momentum.
While it's unfortunate they had to open up their intellectial property to the rest of the world, and did considerably lower their future earnings as they would have existed sans Linux, it did pretty much guarantee Sun wouldn't be completely destroyed by the foreign clone.
So while Sun's future is nowhere as bright as it would have been, they did counter the Linux threat without having to GPL their code or open source the the final shipping product. Kudos to them, and best wishes to other US companies combatting foreign clones like Linux.
So all those prior statements of yours implying if sun falls it will be mainly because of Linux are incorrect?
