You gotta love the internet and blogging. While following this article by Ashlee Vance from the Register sharing how JBoss CEO Marc Fleury called Redhat an open source pretender that "doesn't create JACK". Ashlee points out that this has been attempted to be erased from memory, but alas, the internet makes the elephant look like a piker when it comes to memory management :-). You can try to remove foot from mouth, but there will always be plenty of people that will make sure everyone knows that's where it was. Pretty funny.

One comment Fleury made (courtesy of internet caching) that I took offense at was

SUN is always a bit hypocritical when talking about open source, just like IBM is. These companies embrace open source where and when it enables them to compete against MSFT but when it comes to their own beef (do you see IBM open sourcing DB2/Websphere?) they show their true colors, and trust me it isn't pretty.

...

So to me both SUN and RH are open source "wannabees", or as one of my developers put "open source girly men".
