The change itself and the way in which it has been communicated (or not, rather) is cause for concern. The barrier to entry has just been raised in a major way, and I can't see how in any way, shape or form this is a positive or progressive step. I would have hoped Oracle were straight up about it, rather than alter the small type in the license statement and leave it for customers to join the dots. Also, according to many parts of the web site itself, Solaris is still being promoted as being either "free" and/or free for download - which is just plain confusing. So, does anyone know if this license change retrospectively affects Solaris 10 installations pre-acquisition? Disappointed it's coming to this. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
