Any more than they already are? Budget conscious orgs already have
many free alternatives so that argument falls flat. Even Oracle offers
Linux with their x86 server sales. If they're trying /that/ hard to
push Solaris 11, why sell Oracle Linux at all? Would suing a couple of
fledgling open source projects really send droves of new Solaris 11
licensees to Oracle?

Why do people have this impression that corporations are staffed at
all levels by mustache twisting villains? Have you met your local
Oracle reps recently? How about your local Microsoft reps? Cisco? IBM?
Intel? Ask them about their kids, their next vacation, and their
current plans for world domination? Seriously, whiskey tango foxtrot?
