Just came across this comic…

The year is now 2010. Oracle has just had its buyover of Sun approved by the EU not a couple of months ago.

Irony :)

Huh, comparing RMS to che?!!! RMS didn’t put his life on the line fighting along side many other cubans to bring about the downfall of apartheid in namibia and south africa and stop it spreading to angola. Tsk…

Russ: that’s the free market for you.

I just checked Wikipedia though, and it mentions nothing of those murders, so I guess they didn’t happen.

Uhhhhhh, RMS hasn’t murdered anybody yet, so Che Stallman is just a little inaccurate. But, hey, this site is all about LIES and MISREPRESENTATION, so why not profit from a Che Stallman shirt?

Che Stallman, eh? So when does RMS plan on brutally murdering large numbers of innocent people?

Well, the SPARC Niagara was open sourced (GPL’d it seems). There’s also been a few OpenFirmware implementations open sourced, including Sun’s OpenBOOT. They’re available from OpenBIOS’s svn repository.

Leeg, _thank you_! I am thrilled to know I had an idea that other people thought were good too.

Seriously, I didn’t know.

Now, how much for a OpenSparc with OpenBIOS? I guess I’d best go looking first so I don’t look stupid.

Bob, did you mean like Sun already did, or more like Gaisler already did?

I _love_ SUN hardware. Or rather, compared to the other machines of their day, the SPARC-2 and SPARC-10 that I learned UNIX (Ok, SunOS) on were great. And I was very happy with how well Debian installed on the SPARC-2 and SPARC-20 that someone let me get my hands on few years later.

What I would like to see is the SPARC chip “OpenSourced”, as in the chip and architecture released as open hardware. Like the Linux BIOS.

I mean, it’s not like Sun is making any money off of that architecture any more, they seem to have gone off the Intel diving board. But then, I could be completely off base and they are actually making tons of money on SPARC-based Debian-running cluster-nodes, but I have not heard of it.

To be fair, Sun is apparently committed to becoming an entirely open-source company. Look at the recent open-sourcing of Solaris and Java.

RMS @ Sun? Of course – so he could destroy from within… Of course the same applies to ESR, but it would not be intentional…
