Sun plans open source Solaris?
Richard Leyton
writes "Computergram (Published by Computerwire)
today reports that Sun is working on a strategy to enable
it to move Solaris to the open source model *without* stepping
on the toes of the Linux Community. Corporate quote reads: "Linux
is good for Solaris, but Linux is not a corporate community".
They don't want their intentions being misunderstood. Problems
exist with royalty and various agreements it's made, but
is actively looking for issues that would prevent it going
open source. Sun is already making various Solaris APIs
compatible with Linux, and is working out how to market
the initiative and what image it's looking at presenting. "
