Which is why contributions back into OpenSolaris (the kernel anyway),
will need to be dual-licensed.
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.
OpenSolaris is a Sun trademark, so don't count on it. ;-)
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.
No they won't. Where will innovation occur? That's what people really
care about. Who will work on reallyopensolaris.org and who will work on
opensolaris.org? Most of the developers, for good or bad, are employed
by Sun and will continue to develop on opensolaris.org. The rest of the
world can pull from reallyopensolaris.org, but that code base will get
old and crusty pretty fast.
