This is a prime example of companies not seeing the definition of "free software" If Solaris was free, it still wouldn't be free... It would probably be released in some sort of a form where you can get the binaries, but not the source. You wouldn't be able to look at the source, examine for problems, alter problem, enhance lack of features, or contribute to you fellow man the changes that should be made to a great OS to make it better. Institutions and people like OSOpinion are not seeing the point. GNU/Linux is free software because you can do with it, what you need to and still contribute your changes to the rest of the world - That is why it survives, and will continue to survive.
