Sun open-sourced not only Solaris, but also OpenOffice.org, MySQL and, eventually, Java.
And last year, Sun was bought out by Oracle for a song.
Something tells me that open source isn't the best business model for a company that wants to stay in business.
If open source were going to save the Amiga, AROS would be far better developed than AOS4.1. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm very much in favour of AROS. I just don't think that AmigaOS should follow suit.
By the way, I'm actually quite happy that Sun open-sourced MySQL & Java. I'm writing a database application in Java which will run with MySQL Cluster, and I'm more than happy to get my software for free.
But it didn't help Sun.
