I wonder how this will affect LINUX development. The source code to Solaris should help solve some of the scaling problems linux has. Not to out right rip the code, but it should help point the way to more scalable kernels.
Of course, what else is there in Solaris that it does better than LINUX?
Of course they could GPL it. Or any number of free measures that would allow them to make money off it and not have to worry about a patent(BSD style?).
Actually, I'm halfway through writing a distributed Point of sale system. This includes Linux boxes running on comodity x86s and Java Database Servers. This system includes report management, timeclocks and asset management. It does contain some NDA stuff. This is however for another client and is modular. It can easily be replaced with your own proprietary modules.

I really hope this would pass. But it won't. The government can't pass up a chance to double dip us on taxes :(
