Well considering it's licensed under the CDDL, I think we will see it. But since none of the CDDL licensed items they've used have even shipped yet, I think it's reasonable to take a wait-and-see approach with them. Besides, another one of the SUN folks posted earlier today about how valuable people at Apple were because of the knowledge they shared about DTrace. You will have no disagreement with me that what SUN has done is incredible and wonderful. They have definitely done far more than any other company has, in my personal opinion, for open source. -Shawn This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
