Solaris 10 to be Open Source

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the here's-hoping-people dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It looks as though Sun is going to open source their new Solaris 10 operating system. It seems to include eveything except some device drivers. They plan to model the Darwin and Fedora projects. Sounds very interesting."

  1. Please GOD not GPL, Let's pray for BSD License by mrnick · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The GPL license is so restrictive to what you can and cannot do as opposed to the BSD license that says here do what you will.

    Though, I imagine it will be some NEW sun open source license that makes it so you can contribute all you want but you cannot take anything from it.
