Where do you get that from? AFAIK, there is no official word about oracle opening anything moving forward, but there are plenty of unofficial reports that it will not be opened. Nobody in the field is holding any hope for that to change anymore, most importantly illumos and nexenta. (At least with regards to ZFS and all the other projects relevant to solaris.) I know in the case of SGE/OGE, it's officially closed source now. As of Dec 31st, sunsource is being decomissioned, and the announcement of officially closing the SGE source and decomissioning the open source community went out on Dec 24th. So all of this leads me to believe, with very little reservation, that the new developments beyond zpool 28 are closed source moving forward. There's very little breathing room remaining for hope of that being open sourced again. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
