Sun will announce support options for OpenSolaris on May 13. The company has chosen to release OpenSolaris under the Common Development and Distribution License rather than the GPL or another licence that is widely used in the open source world. "From a software perspective, it's clear that open source is the right approach and that OpenSolaris provides the platform to participate, innovate and ultimately succeed," said Rich Green, Sun's executive vice president, software. "I'm tremendously proud of the work the OpenSolaris community has put forth and believe the new OpenSolaris OS sets the innovation benchmark for what's possible in an open source world." |
