I will repeat that position once more in order to be clear. They have been open, honest, honourable and supportive. I can tell you that I have dealt with the Genesi people for a while now and I publicly will stand by them and will say that they support free and open development in the open source world regardless of if its OpenSolaris or Linux. I really don’t know what the history is of these past problems. They never asked for anything and never even asked for a signature or a single piece of paper. When Blastwave was hitting hard times and searching for a corporate sponsor to help out Genesi stepped forwards and tossed in money. It has been well over a year since I had my Genesi ODW and no one at Genesi ever asked for it back or for payment. Genesi shipped systems all over the world at great expense and never made a complaint. Genesi stepped up to the plate and had provided free systems to people working on the PowerPC project. We would need support with no real possibility of return on investment for a very very long time. We knew it would be a long path to follow and we would need every technical schematic. The OpenSolaris project created an opportunity to port Solaris to a whole new architecture and we needed a hardware vendor that would help us at every step. I have been dealing with Genesi for nearly two years.
