Lumsden: OpenSolaris canceled

Alasdair Lumsden has posted a document claimed to be a leaked Oracle engineering memo describing how Solaris will be handled within the company. It suggests that OpenSolaris as a community project (such as it was) is no more. "We will distribute updates to approved CDDL or other open source-licensed code following full releases of our enterprise Solaris operating system. In this manner, new technology innovations will show up in our releases before anywhere else. We will no longer distribute source code for the entirety of the Solaris operating system in real-time while it is developed, on a nightly basis."
