just a thought, devs with the proper skills could use opensolaris snv_134 OS, replace the the non free packages with free packages from illumos and strip all of opensolaris trade marks and replace them with an other name somthing like saturn OS or somthing else if the CDDL permits this and use that as a dev platform and they could use a page from the old CSRG from 70s-80's invite universities and ask students sign up form Google Summer of Code to help devlop new OS relaese and they could use illumos as a gate. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
