Solaris 10 can be used for strictly self-educational purposes.. >From this Oralcle site reads out: Developers: All software downloads are free, and most come with a Developer License that allows you to use full versions of the products at no charge while developing and prototyping your applications, or for strictly self-educational purposes. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/downloads/index.html Solaris is included and it's released under the developer license. I think Oracle knows since Solaris is a free download all sorts people will download it but i think oracle will only go after with warnings and lawsuits at companies using it in "production" without a support contracts. I'm currently using the latest solaris 10 release, at home, for strictly self educational purposes to earn all of Oracle Solaris certs. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
