Talk:iPlanet

Incorrect

I hate to say so, but the core of this page is simply and entirely incorrect. Whole swaths of the details are unknown to me, so I am unequipped to untangle this page and correct all the errors, but I wanted to make sure and contest the basic premise.

The software company to which this article refers was not named iPlanet, nor was it even a company in a strict sense. After AOL acquired Netscape Communications in 1999, Netscape and Sun Microsystems formed an innovative "virtual company," dubbed Sun|Netscape Alliance, to sell their respective middleware products. The new entity's staff and management were drawn from Netscape and Sun employees, whose employment status did not change under the new relationship. Sun and Netscape were proud of this arrangement, where Netscape-badged staff often reported directly to Sun employees and vice-versa.

Netscape and Sun merged their middleware product lines, over time eliminating overlap. The umbrella name chosen for the software was iPlanet, a trademark that Sun owned due to its 1998 acquisition of i-Planet Inc. (The Java email client acquired with i-Planet Inc. became part of Sun's contribution to the new iPlanet product line.)

In 2002 (drawing this date from the current page), AOL shut down Netscape and laid off virtually all staff. Sun acquired most (all?) of the iPlanet products, rechristening them Sun ONE (later Java Enterprise System). Sun cherry-picked former Netscape employees to join their software development/sales/support business, while Sun employees who had been part of the Alliance were generally retained. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.125.78.194 (talk • contribs) 16:04, October 5, 2006

I've had a go at correcting the text along these lines, with references from my memory of the events.--Ear1grey 21:21, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

One and small correction: Java Enterprise System was based on the J2EE reference implementation and not on the Sun One implementation (basically it was packaging of the open and free addition).

Fair use rationale for Image:IPlanetlogo-full whiteback.gif

Image:IPlanetlogo-full whiteback.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
