Although Garrett answered you, the measurable quantifiable answer will allude many of us.
Based on observation and maybe old notes, I wouldn't say 95% of OpenSolaris is based on Sun's IP. Close inspection of the OpenSolaris kernel tells the story. The other part is core environment and userland. Many of those things existed before "Solaris" or SunOS existed (or spawned elsewhere beforehand). There were many 'concepts' before ZFS existed. There were many package management projects underway before IPS came along. Many of the device drivers were collaborated projects with other IHVs/ISVs or independent contractors. I'm not trying to take the 'spoon out the mouth' - but I think we know that many colleges, universities, businesses, organizations, and independent contributors (aka the community) are part of that big umbrella of 95% - as well as the remaining 5%.... Even an island is part of a large underwater ecosystem... ~ Ken Mays -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
