Re: [orca-list] What happened to solaris?

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Open Solaris is dead! Yes, Oracle killed another one.  As of August 31st 
2010, The committee that supported OpenSolaris was officially disbanded 
after Oracle made it know that it was pulling the plug and had no 
further interest in supporting it.

Had OpenSolaris been licensed differently, it could have been forked and 
kept alive by the community.  That's why licensing detail is so 
important.  Even though most of Solaris was supposedly open source, it 
could not be redistributed by anyone else so it is now dead.  Thanks, 
Oracle.
