Rethead kauft Jboss

[flaite]

hm. sollte mich wirklich mehr mit Linux beschäftigen. Nun da meine Lieblings-Computerfirma für viel Geld von einem Linus-Distributor geschluckt worden ist.

Hier die interessantesten Meldungen über diesen deal:
1. Hani Suleiman (Genie unserer Zeit):

Of course, it's easy for jboss fanboys to dismiss all this as jealousy. Let me assure you, it's far from jealousy. It's disgust, hatred, and a fundamental lack of goodwill. It's the same feeling that biblethumpers feel towards prochoicers. The same feeling that lefties feel towards the US, Americans feel towards Arabs, and Germans towards Nazis.

2. Rickard Öberg (Schwedischer ex-JBoss Entwickler und Marc Fleury Hasser):

Did make Rickard Oberg any money?
No, but now that you mention it that sounds kind of reasonable. I mean, as you say I did do a lot of the stuff in JBoss to begin with, like the EJB container and microkernel. That might be worth a mill or two down the line, wouldn't you say? ;-) How 'bout it Marc, have some spare change to share?

Tell ya what, throw in a mill and I'll even get off your case, permanently. Not to mention that it would make your "we pay OpenSource developers" soundbite much catchier too! How's that for an easter treat! :-)

Marc Fleury vorher in seinem blog über redhad: (Eintrag am Montag gelöscht aber gestern in google cache von mir noch gesichtet. Heute weg):

"So to me both SUN and RH are open source "wannabees", or as one of my developers put "open source girly men". They all want to represent themselves as "friends" of open source."
