Just to clarify, what is my path forward from OS 2009.06? The release is for development, prototyping, etc. To quote the license: "only for the purpose of developing, testing, prototyping and demonstrating your applications, and not for any other purpose."
I'm doing none of those things. I'm an "end-user" if you will in what I want to continue using OpenSolaris for. I use it for purely personal purposes, mainly a ZFS NAS. Now, the FAQ implies that Solaris 11 Express may be used for other means: "Oracle Solaris 11 Express is the latest release of the Oracle Solaris operating system. This release is the path forward for developers, end-users and partners using previous generations of OpenSolaris releases." Really? That seems to disregard the license. Does buying support then modify your license to include non-development or prototyping-related activities? So do I stick with Solaris 11, and more importantly, may I for personal use? Or do I plan on going to either a dedicated NAS distribution such as Nexenta or to OpenIndiana? The latter two both have free licenses which I know are compatible with my current use. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
