Free… sort of…

So, Sun has announced that pretty much their entire software stack is now “free”. Really, if you want to pick up the phone and yell at somebody when things break you still have to pay, but it does allow you to dabble with software you may have ignored before due to license costs, or start using some of the more basic infrastructure bits you simply couldn’t afford before for small projects.

Hopefully this helps SunMC adoption, as I often run into admins who would like some of its more advanced features, but don’t have the money to do so. Anything that gets it out there and more widely deployed has to be a good thing…
