Actually, Oracle is opening up Solaris 11. Solaris 10 was closed source. This is important and no one complained on S10 being closed?
When/if Oracle incorporates fixes from Illumos, those fixes will be available later, when Oracle releases the binary distro and the source code. This does not disturb me. This announcement may be bad for the OpenSolaris distro, but Solaris 11 Express distro is just a few months away. This announcement is great for Solaris. What disturbs me, is the brain drain. Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal has left now - they will both help out with Illumos I think. I hope Oracle treats the talented engineers that are left, better. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
