I have never been affiliated with either Sun Microsystems or the Oracle corporation, if that is what you're getting at.

And I am not yet prepared to disclose the name that the system gave me on the Internet - because Internet never, ever forgets. Roaches check in - but they don't check out.

I still don't see how Oracle is relevant in any of that, since DTrace source code is under CDDL. As far as I'm concerned, that's where the story begins and that's where it ends.

As far as an anonymous person is concerned? You keep stating that your opinion matters, but won't back it up with your actual name. Why is that?

Because a) I value my privacy and b) name shouldn't matter - only whether the argument, assertion, or the idea is correct or not.

Sadly, you and I have never met. I've got questions for you, and then some.

Yes, lots of questions, irrelevant to this topic but as a huge fan of illumos and SmartOS very much relevant to me, personally.

He's not anonymous, he's pseudonymous, which is a distinction with considerable difference.
