> Linux would have succeeded with or without Oracle, and I find it sad that you would try to re-write history to the point where it would seem that without Oracle linux would have remained a toy. Ehhh... I don't see where he claimed anything about that. I see "Linux was a toy. Oracle helped make it not a toy." But, nothing about what would have happened otherwise. Be careful not to get sad over things not said. Principle of Charity and all that...

Some circuit board with 64 kilobytes of RAM sent on a mission to Mars can be a "non toy". Toy: for amusement or education of creator. Non-toy: implements real requirement for some task. For instance, 80 bytes of machine code which pop out a piece of bread when it toasts to a certain darkness level: non-toy.
