I should do this but...

The IBM i will never be and should never be opened source. Can you really
name an enterprise OS that is open source? Unix, Windows, Solaris (not
OpenSolaris), none of these is open source. Even most enterprise
implementations of Linux are closed.

Fact is you are always ranting on how great .NET is. Microsoft is even more
"closed source" than IBM. So, do you want Windows to go open source too?

I'm all for open source products/solutions, but I'm also okay with keeping
things closed.

I know you are only attempting to get a rise out of people with these kind
of statements, I guess this time you got me.

I won't waste a lot of bandwidth on this. I've never used Unix in any
way when coding EGL. I haven't had to code a line of Java since before
the product went GA.

Go to the EGL website, check out the success stories.

I am boycotting EGL until IBM i is open sourced. ;)
