Sun's open source policy closes doors for Solaris (ZDNet)

ZDNet features an editorial by a Solaris developer that looks at how open-source packages may not easily port to non-Linux platforms. "Since Linux and Solaris are not identical, this means that a growing number of software packages will not work "out of the box" with Solaris. Solaris is becoming a third-class citizen in the free software world."
