We currently do not have all the rights to allow redistribution of Sun Studio.
With many millions of lines of code developed over the past 2 decades, we have developed, partnered, and licensed, etc. to provide the best toolchain as possible for our users. Since transitioning from a paid to free product 2 years ago, we have balanced priorities of additional features (Intel/AMD/SPARC optimizations, tools for MT/multicore development, new IDE, etc.) with those needed by the open source communities (OpenSolaris, OpenJDK, etc.) Our goal is to enable Sun Studio to be used in the OpenSolaris project and other open source communities. We recognize that identifying and removing legal encumbrances, allowing a redistributable version of Sun Studio, would not only further this goal along, but be a major milestone towards Sun's open source strategy. Project Indiana, with its repositories, provides a great opportunity for OpenSolaris and we want to participate as fully as possible. /kso -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
