Not that I'd want to put anyone off the idea, but I do then wonder, Why
do it?
Why try to integrate it into Fedora when your efforts won't lead to
profits for
Red Hat?
I understand it from a personal perspective. It's a challenge. It can
make hardware
available that was otherwise lost to Sun. It's Linux-From-Scratch in
the extreme.
But at the same time, this is just our obsession. It sort of looks like
a bunch of geeks
(myself very much included) that don't know when to just give up and
accept the Sun license
and everything that comes with it. ;-)
