I need to calculate (plus or minus about 5%) what percentage of the

consolidation that is "brought in".
I'd expect it to be 90% or better by S11 release.
I'm not sure I'd go that high - there's a lot of code in CDE & Java.
It also depends on your definitions - almost 1/4 of the Solaris CD's
are taken up by StarOffice - which is closed source, but a large part
of the sources are shared with the open source OpenOffice.org - is it
closed because you can't exactly replicate it or open because you can
contribute changes that get into it?
My first problem is what metric to use.
Lines of code ? Number of binaries ? Something else ?
Lines of code would be hard since no one in the world has access to all the
code used in Solaris.
