Wow, what leads you guys to even imagine that S11 wouldn't contain comstar, etc.? *Of course* it will contain most of the bits that are current today in OpenSolaris. Licensing, yes, I wouldn't trust Oracle in that department. They don't care so much about Solaris itself as they do about Oracle on Solaris. Plenty of companies run Solaris/Oracle almost as an appliance, with very little additional Solaris. I'm sure Oracle is happy to continue or even promote that, and clearly Solaris will now be even more of a preferred platform for Oracle than ever. On 8/14/10 7:58 AM -0500 Russ Price wrote:

Very true, early on, but Solaris became free (for limited uses, but enough to test it) quite a long time before OpenSolaris was ever even born. Then it became "very free", maybe a year or 2 before OpenSolaris was launched? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
