Sun Announces Open Source License for Solaris(TM) Operating System

Interesting strategy. One we knew was coming. I haven't thought about it a lot, but I'm wondering if this will help them. Since so many people have moved over to linux, will open source developer's really start working on Solaris, or just stay with linux? Digital never tried this ploy, and it ended up "killing" VMS, for the most part. Will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next few years.

Sigh... (fondly remembers VMS)
