According to VNUNet, Sun plans on a piece of server virtualisation software as GPLv3. The article is also not clear as to whether xVM Server, a "trimmed Solaris kernel, allowing guest operating systems to benefit from popular features such as the ZFS file system, network virtualisation or DTrace, which allows developers to optimise application performance", will be licensed in the same way. How will this affect our community as nascent distributions to emerge thanks to tools like Distribution Constructor? Will these parts also be available under the CDDL to ensure that OpenSolaris-related components continue to follow our community's choice of licensing? -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
