OPENSOLARIS anche SUN rende open source il proprio sistema operativo

Dopo un anno di incertezze La SUN annuncia che presto renderà disponibile il proprio sistema operativo SOLARIS in modalità Open Source . Questo è il comunicato stampa di oggi accompagnato dalla costituzione di un apposito sito da cui effettuare il download:

OpenSolaris.org now “open” for business

The Solaris operating system is being released under the terms of the OSI-approved, CDDL (Common Development and Distribution License).
Millions of development hours worth of code and over 1,600 patents are
being contributed to the open source community. We know that innovation
happens everywhere. And we’re going to stand shoulder to shoulder with
you. To push Solaris. And see how far we — together — can take it.

   
   

The
opensolaris.org web site will be the center for OpenSolaris activity.
Program content will be released in stages. The source code for one of
the Solaris operating system’s most advanced features – Dynamic Tracing
(DTrace) is available here. We invite you to take a look. Expect to see buildable Solaris code here in Q2 2005.

Community
involvement and input is critical to the success of the OpenSolaris
program. If you want us to update you on major events such as the
availability of buildable Solaris source code, please provide us with
your email address in the text box on the right.
