Yeah, it's a tough question to even vaguely wrap around, because the "OS" is a kernel and a bunch of system-specific things, plus a bunch of free things available elsewhere, which are not system specific. I guess if I could clarify the question at all, in any way that I think would be valuable or interesting, it would be: For presently occurring development, in areas which are specific to opensolaris, (see, now I've already ruined it because ZFS isn't specific to opensolaris) ... How about just specifically the kernel, and ZFS. Because obviously the kernel is system specific, while ZFS is highly integral but usable outside. But I think this would be fairly representative of the balance between funded contribution coming from oracle versus other-funded or un-funded contributions by outside communities. So the clarification, I guess, would be: In the kernel and/or ZFS, present development efforts, what proportion is oracle-funded versus other-funded or un-funded community contributions? With the goal being a vague and relative (possibly irrelevant) estimate of how much the development of opensolaris depends on oracle funding. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
