I would doubt Oracle would continue to let licensed binary bits of Solaris be a continued part of an open source project. Likely those binary bits would have to be recoded and not contain any Sun copyrighted code. A large part of the source code is still known only to Sun.
The binary license was also changed on 1/27/2010, the date Oracle officially acquired Sun. I also still fail to see the reason for OpenSolaris. Solaris 10 was developed when Solaris 9 was released, and they didn't need a development branch for Solaris 10. Really, I don't see why Oracle would spend tens of millions on Sparc/Solaris and spend tens of millions on OpenSolaris. Only to turn around and spend millions more to make OpenSolaris the new Solaris 11. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
