Err, no.  I was merely questioning Ingo's reasoning that Sun wanted

Linux's drivers as badly as he made it seem.  All the fuss about

waiting for and going to GPLv3 wouldn't get them that.  Moving to

GPLv2 would, and still, they aren't doing it.  That was my point.
FWIW, I share most of your assessment and wait-and-see attitude about

Sun's situation.
