McNealy, Sun, and the FOSS community

I've just posted
a long rant in Groklaw

It's about Sun, how great it was that they released OpenOffice under the LGPL, also taking account of the subsquent schyzofrenia they suffer that prevents them from being greater for the greater good.

I don't love Schwartz for his sayings, and McNealy coming out honest won't fix it so quick.

The only behaviour that generates trust is consistence, and that is still something I see lacking across Sun's ranks.
