That's a *VERY* big leading if. There is no such thing as an open source Solaris today. Personally, I don't believe that Solaris will be open source to the tune that Fedora is. Even if we do see some sort of open source license, it probably won't be GPL. Do you even see Sun release an open source OpenOffice? How about a true open source Java? If Sun can't or won't provide a truly open source Java, do you really expect them to open source an entire operating system? -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
