Illumos launched as OpenSolaris derivative (The H)

The H reports from the Illumos announcement; Illumos will be a all-free downstream derivative of OpenSolaris. "Illumos is endorsed and supported by Nexenta, Joyent, Greenviolet, Belenix, Schillix, Berlios and Everycity in its efforts to create a freely available SunOS derivative. [Garrett] D'Amore emphasises that Illumos is not a fork, but the work being done will empower the community to fork if needed in the future. He believes the project already has the critical mass necessary to sustain the engineering effort needed."
