"Once the iPhone and other platforms reach Verizon over the next six months, Android’s sales will scale back down domestically, and all the platform will have to recommend itself is a lot of adware, malware, copyright violations and fraudware pushed underhanded developers looking to bilk an audience in a market with no curator. On top of all this, it will also have a top software maker seeking to eviscerate its core development platform, necessitating a significant reworking of what Android even is. Who wants to invest in development for that? Especially if all your work is just going to be pirated by all the Android freetards." Ah yes its those freetards, white trash the lot of them, in their uncurated markets.... |

Quoting:Oracle likes Linux so much that it funds Btrfs, a GPL licensed, futuristic and advanced new file system that supports pooling, snapshots, checksums, and other features that sound a lot like Sun’s ZFS, which Oracle now also owns. The difference is that Oracle didn’t mire Btrfs in legal quandary the way Sun did with ZFS before Oracle bought them.Huh? They support one project that serves their Oracle DB business very well, and kill off Open Solaris. Yet the selective Daniel asserts his favorite "highlight" is enough to support the notion that Oracle is “open source friendly”. I'd say it shows Oracle is perhaps "open source opportunistic" at best and reserve any judgment on "OS friendly" until I've reviewed more of their open source relationships in the last year or so. |
