Don't apologize!
I thought the corner had been turned and the sickening onslaught of what will
happen to OpenSolaris had ended.
eam1 though seems to be the biggest instigator of keeping the fire burning on
the topic so it doesn't die out.

I can post anything I want since the First Amendment (something I swore an oath
to protect) is still valid in the United States; there is nothing more that can
be said on the topic.
Any valid questions and arguments have already been posted, so anything new is
purely to antagonize.

This will get me banned - BUT SO WHAT!
You cannot figure out ALL this person does is post links and comment about
OpenSolaris.
The person started a thread on the topic, then started ANOTHER thread on the
other thread.
This person has never posted anything other than what is happening with

Unless you're an attorney or have inside information, why not leave the legal
wrangling to the lawyers?
Otherwise you're throwing around baseless opinions that mean nothing.

"Where is there anything more authoritative than just the rumors spread on
this mailing list?"
I would say that you need to give up your disbelief that OpenSolaris is no
more, gone, caput, aidios, ciao, goodbye, bye bye, dead, and has been for some
time.

or Pepperdine?
I find it amusing that people with no exerience in law are throwing around
their knowledge of patent and contract law, and how Google and/or Oracle is

What's your point? IBM has had DB2 Express for quite some time.

What are you talking about?
"XE will store up to 4GB of user data, use up to 1GB of memory, and use one CPU
on the host machine."
DB2 Express-C supports up to 2 cores (1 cpu), 2GB memory, no database size
limit, no connection limits, no user limits, 32- or 64-bit.

I know that is what you're talking about, but I specifically meant, what you
mean by express mean something different between IBM and Oracle, because both
of their database express products have limits.

You said IBM with AIX 6 is copying Solaris 10 because of WPARs?
I could counter that Sun with Solaris 10 was copying AIX. srcmstr has been
around in AIX since its inception and Solaris 10 came out with SMF which is
close to the same thing.
Also, AIX has had LPARs for a decade while Sun came o
Face the fact that OpenSolaris is dead and has been since March 2010. Either
get behind Solaris 10 and its heir apparent, or find another operating system
besides Solaris-based.
The reason OpenSolaris had as large a user base and downloads as it did was
because Sun supported a binary release.
Unix, meaning Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, have a market and are not rapidly decreasing
as you allude to in your comment. This is a fallacy and more marketing
gibberish than anything.
Linux cannot hold a candle to AIX or Solaris on proprietary hardware and RAS
features. AIX has had features (LPARs) f
That is nonsense and just tabloid talk.
IBM just recently announced AIX 7 for their POWER 7 server line. Linux cannot
in any way use the full capabilities of POWER architecture the way it is
exploited with AIX. If IBM was to eliminate AIX, they would have to also kill
their POWER architecture
Businesses that use RHEL use their Satellite server and don't use kickstart and
other methods that are "free" because they want support.
Hence they shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to "save money"
over "expensive" AIX and Solaris.
And up2date? Apparently you aren't very vers
You're using an article 7 to 8 years old to base your conjecture? Why would
they spend millions developing AIX if it was being killed?
You also fail to realize transportation, finance, insurance, banking, retail,
defense, and all sectors of the economy run AIX. They have no intention of
runni
Copyright a state?
So anyone starting "Indiana Software, LLC" would be in conflict with Sun
because of a codename on a project?
I guess people have sued for dumber things to try and get money.

I find it hard to believe the article stated IBM's chip division would be for
sale. Why would IBM sell their chip division to a rival? IBM would no longer
have the POWER chip and thus would lose their POWER-based servers. They also
develop the mainframe chips.
Unless IBM solely wants to go t
Keep quoting ten-year old articles!
As for POWER7, it is powering the new Blue Waters supercomputer at NCSA and is
funded by the NSF and DARPA. It will hook together 16,384 Power7 chips! The
transfer rate between nodes will be 192GB per second!

Dude, why do you quote articles 7-8 years old? Things change. In the 50's
they said we'd all be flying to work like George Jetson in the 2000's, yet I
drove my car today. Things change.
You also fail to understand that Linux and x86 do not have the RAS capabilities
of POWER architecture. Do
Give it up, dude. Linux on x86 is a red-headed stepchild.
You say buy more x86 servers. And what about the extra rack space which mean a
larger data center, and extra cooling, more electricity, etc. Certainly not
less expensive now that you you need to buy 5-1 or whatever number.
IBM has a L
Perhaps you aren't aware that OpenSolaris is dead. Not sure why you're using
build 134 that is from March, 2010.
Try OpenIndiana or whatever they call it, or move to another Unix-based
operating system.

"In short, the Oracle executives said that the open source, community-driven
OpenSolaris project as conceived and built by Sun Microsystems five years ago
is dead."

Guess there aren't too many of us great AIX people around :)
