Sun reveals tidbits of Solaris open source strategy (NewsForge)Sun reveals tidbits of Solaris open source strategy (NewsForge)Posted Jun 17, 2004 21:21 UTC (Thu) by ccchips (subscriber, #3222)Parent article: Sun reveals tidbits of Solaris open source strategy (NewsForge) The appearance of these various source-code releases is very exciting. When all is said and done, I hope this move brings about more co-operation between computer scientists, professionals, hobbyists, and researchers than ever before. I believe that unity behind openness in the computer community may bring about some quantum leaps in humans' ability to understand how the world works, while closed, proprietary, patent-warring, and "copyright greed" are holding us back in very damaging ways that only historians for a hundred or two hundred years from now will understand well.

Sun reveals tidbits of Solaris open source strategy (NewsForge) Posted Jun 18, 2004 2:13 UTC (Fri) by sidboyce (guest, #10891) [Link] I shall play wait and see. They are still playing Solaris and I wonder if this will be no more than their previous source code releases with the liecense dolled up, yielding little freedom, so Sun gets cheap development, but having sole ownership. Remember, it's they who say Linux (or was it RedHat) is not open source, perhaps they will try to redefine the term.
