From: Michael Werneke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Straight from Sun to my Inbox comes the announcement of OpenSolaris.
I wonder what effects this will have on linux and vice versa.  Sharing
of drivers, Sun's failover software...Linux might get a big boost from
this.

If the license is compatible to GPL code (meaning that code from sun can be put in GPLed projects), then Linux gets a huge boost as features will be ported over and improved. If it is also compatible from GPLed code (its possible to take GPLed code and put it in Solaris) I'd expect Solaris to get any features Linux has and it lacks in short order. Both products can come out winners in this.
