Great for new Oracle customers, without usage restrictions and great for
contributing,
- exactly what OpenSolaris binary distribution was good for, anyway.
(OpenSolaris source code - as set of code consolidations is staying on
the open)
Production supported product stays Oracle Solaris, with new prices etc,
but hey, the same way there is RedHat and CentOS and I think that we all
know that Oracle Solaris and OpenIndiana/IllumOS) is better server OS
pair, for sure.
There are Oracle supported and newest tech Oracle Solaris releases with
support, together with community distribution that could catch up after
that and contribute changes and fixes back to Oracle, with all space
open for Oracle to monetize on Solaris. (And getting support from
company such as Oracle is what Is worth paying for)
That is, only providing that Oracle is ready to release ON consolidation
code, to its customers and followers, at the times for release and to
use it as strong major selling point.

Hi,
Now I think when it comes to opensource, Oracle only tries to
exploit it, by finding ways where they can make money of it. with that
in mind,
i think releasing solaris code is the last thing oracle has in
mind, since they are developing it, if they though otherwise they would
of never
closed up the gate. I think at this point on: Openindiana,
illumos, etc should forget about oracle exists and focus to really
making it happen, and they are doing a great job:-)
i've got a haunch when illumos codebase gets better than
oracle's, oracle will simply take it, since nobody owns opensource, it
will be like a one way street.
Regards
Edward
