No, they won't. According to 'whois', it looks like "reallyopensolaris.org" hasn't been registered yet, and would be an excellent place to set up a rival community. Those who are willing to consent to dual-licensing today with the possibility of additional licenses to be named in the future might go to opensolaris.org. The rest would go to the other site, and use GPL alone. If the goal really is growing the community around opensolaris.org, I don't see how adding another layer of complexity will achieve that. If the goal is setting Solaris free such that Sun can't use it anymore, then I think adding another license is a solid move in that direction. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[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 opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
