Rich this is indeed interesting, is this a one-off, or a serious project
we are taking about here?
IBM and Solaris ????
IBM looooovvvvveeeeesssssss JAVA.
Well IBM likes to sell Hardware and Solutions, OS's it seems are just a
means to an end.
Websphere and associated middleware already runs on Solaris, SAP runs on
Solaris.
IBM/SUN Alliance: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/sun/
IBM is selling its Blades with Solaris x86
(http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/09/07/sun_ibm_ebs/)
Not for me to say, but looking at comments on the Internet it would seem
that there are a lot of existing Solaris users who wouldn't switch to
another OS even if it was free.
Could IBM be eying such potential customers?
Am I reading too much into this, or just too soon ;-)

The impression that I got this summer was that it was coming along
very well.

I believe under GPL v3 this is not a problem, but last I checked Linus
and many in the kernel devel community had put the kibosh on that. Of
course Sun could dual license ZFS.. Or, someone with far too much free
time could port OpenSolaris to zSeries... ;)
