The obvious solution to this problem is to remove the "Open" from the name Solaris and we would not have an issue at all. This is the reason there are issues, keep the source code with the "OpenSolaris" name and the binary distro should be renamed Solaris Next pre-beta or something of the sort.
People would then not confuse that the binary distro is in the hands of Oracle and is subject to the needs and schedule of their liking. The OGB should really think about this and bring it up to the Oracle management to see if this could alleviate some confusion and establish a line of demarcation when it comes to knowing who in charge of what. Yes NDA's are not good for an open community project but the company reserves the right to NDA the binary distro, but we should be allowed to have updates to non closed bits, which we do if you know where to look. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
