Hi Everyone, LDOM's are very kewl, I've been testing and working with them for a while now. However, unless the source code for the LDM software and the firmware is going to be open sourced, it may not make a lot of sense to have an OpenSolaris community for it right now. Does anyone know if the LDM software or the ALOM CMT firmware is going to be open sourced? Otherwise, it makes it hard to do any development work or help direct the product.
