O OpenOffice.org por exemplo... Em http://about.openoffice.org/index.html#history> obtemos: StarDivision, the original author of the StarOffice suite of software, was founded in Germany in the mid-1980s. It was acquired by Sun Microsystems during the summer of 1999 and StarOffice 5.2 was released in June of 2000. Future versions of StarOffice software, beginning with 6.0, have been built using the OpenOffice.org source, APIs, file formats, and reference implementation. Sun continues to sponsor development on OpenOffice.org and is the primary contributor of code to OpenOffice.org. E com a recente "abertura" do Solaris, em http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/coinfo/history.html#2005 lemos isto: Sun becomes largest business contributor to the global open source community with donation of 1,600 patents. Em resumo, por tudo aquilo que representa hoje em dia, o mundo ficará mais pobre se a Sun não der a volta à sua "menos boa" situação financeira em que se encontra actualmente. :: Gosto de viver e trabalhar com pessoas melhores do que eu.
