You can also read the very first email on the issue from Yolanda Harris that dates back to September 2002. The next email from Elaine Lee is also available to read.
Once you have read the email that's reproduced below, please also read the notes I've written at the end of this page.
Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2003 01:38:10 +1100 (EST) From: Craig Dewick <cdewick@lios.apana.org.au> To: "Elaine K. Lee" <Elaine.Lee@sun.com> Subject: Re: Sun confidential information on your website Hi Elaine, This is a quick note to let you know that I've received your email. I've just got home from work, and as it's 1.30 am here, I'm sure you'll understand if I opt to sleep and read the message when I have had some sleep. 8-) I have no idea what time it is in the US, but I'd guess some time in the AM. From a brief scan of the email, you're bringing up some issues (mostly the trademark comments) which have already been dealt with in what I regard as intimidating legal threats from Sun's lawyers in the US which my solicitor has dealt with over the last few years. There's been nothing happening with this for well over a year now. Please go to my Sun Ripened Kernels commercial business website and read the legal page to understand my position. The direct URL is: http://www.sunrk.com.au/srk_legal.html Feel free to ask me anything related to that if you'd like to know more, but there's really nothing more to add since the whole issue has fizzled into a non-event. I'll read your email later on today and think about how to respond. I'm happy to call you on the phone if we can work out convenient times/dates given the timezone differences... Now it's time for sleep! Regards, Craig. -- Craig Dewick.

However if Sun continually refuses to acknowledge the existence of a market for surplus Sun equipment in countries other than the US, then their business model will become harder and harder to support since the build-quality and reliability of Sun's hardware is such that people don't always dump it in the trash or a landfill (which is what generally happens with the uncountable number of discarded Wintento-based PC's that are built and designed to be throw-away items).
