So Oracle can not reserve all rights if it includes GPL or CDDL non-Oracle software.
Therefore, that license restrictions can be applied only to binary parts of S11Express that are closed source ATM and not covered by license that allows free use of binary builds (as Oracle's OS/Net). OpenIndiana does just that: It uses open ON(OS/Net) consolidation and will use IllumOS ON consolidation in near future, instead of Oracle closed source ON and it adds on top of it other consolidations and programs, so you can use OpenIndiana without restrictions that Oracle Solaris wants to force to users. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
