This means that Oracle commits to keep Solaris 11 and its maintenance releases in compliance, and that if a buyer orders a compliant system it will be delivered in the correct configuration. The Open Brand program is about continued compliance and not just compliance at a single point in time when the testing was carried out, so suppliers are able to state “and later” to cover their maintenance updates. > > The link to the "Conformance Statements database" > (https://www.opengroup.org/csq/public/search.mhtml?t=CX1&sort=bycomponent) > appears to be broken (404). > We moved the information between servers and missed the https:// redirects - they are now in place. > I did eventually find it at > http://www.opengroup.org/csq/repository/RID=sun%252FCX1%252F7.html > though. > > However, there's still no mention of what configuration of > Solaris is actually being certified.

The certification requires the supplier to supply a compliant system configuration if a buyer wishes to procure one: Quote: "The Open Brand cannot, and does not, attempt to dictate the content of any transaction in any specific supplier/customer relationship. It does not attempt to force a purchaser to buy, or a supplier to supply, items that the customer does not require. What it can, and does, do is provide the mechanism through which, if a buyer wishes to procure a product that is guaranteed to conform to a Product Standard, the supplier will provide a fully conformant product in accordance with the terms of the Open Group Trademark License Agreement." regards Andrew -------- Andrew Josey VP, Standards & Certification, The Open Group Email: a.jo...@opengroup.org Apex Plaza, Forbury Road,Reading,Berks.RG1 1AX,England Tel:+44 118 9023044 Mobile:+44 774 015 5794 UNIX is a registered trademark of The Open Group in the USA and other countries
