InfoWorld: Are there any restrictions as far as which of the open source licenses you support at SpikeSource?

Polese: No. We basically tack on the licenses that are already attached to, associated with, those components.

InfoWorld: Do you carry any Sun software?

Polese: We are not currently certifying with Sun software, Solaris, but that is on our road map.

InfoWorld: I don't know if proprietary is the right word, but say, for example, with Linux distributions, if you get an enterprise package from one of the major vendors, they often come with portions that are more or less non-free device drivers, that kind of thing. Do you also provide support for those?
