It is (like all of the special libc i18n code) encumbered. This is documented in the README file for libc, visible here: http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/lib/libc/ It's not a question of "simplicity," but rather of licensing issues. In general, when there are licensing problems that actually prohibit us from releasing something as open source, we often also cannot talk about the details of those licenses and what specific issue causes the problem. I hope you weren't asking for details of the legal issues. Those details are just not public information. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
