On: KeyDB – A Multithreaded Fork of Redis

As has been discussed many times on HN before[0], your read of history here is just wrong: we at Sun certainly did not think that Linux would let their own read of the GPL prevent them from integrating DTrace. More generally, other faults aside, Sun was emphatically not "devious"; as I have quipped in the past, one of Sun's greatest strengths was that it was insufficiently organized to be evil.

That gave me a good laugh. Fantastic bit of insight. I will have to study this case further, thank you for the enlightenment. <3
