I do believe that having Solaris open sourced does benefit Sun through partners and developers. The tricky part is that Sun needs to make money from having its crown jewels open sourced. Apple's MacOS X builds on Darwin and is able to be benefit from features ported to BSD, such as Dtrace and

Sorry, a bit bitter, but if Sun Inc. is going to GPLfy ZFS, they might as well liquidate and go home. If anybody has made money on Linux it's IBM! If ZFS goes to Linux, long IBM and short JAVA - just like Sun made pittance on Java, OpenOffice and Solaris - it will continue to make pennies. How
