Asking for trouble
I don't understand what Sun is trying to do here.

Solaris was built on SysV.

SCOG will surely sue them. This isn't like IBM contributing it's own code to Linux. Open-sourcing solaris means open sourcing a derivative SysV work in it's entirity.

the answer to AnswerBook... is Google??  asky | 11/05/04
I am certain the issue is NOT allowing Solaris code into Linux.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 11/04/04

I agree..surely no one wants innovation or progress  Jeff Spicoli | 11/05/04
Explain how COPYING is innovative at all?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 11/05/04
Do it now Sun  FilledOut | 11/05/04
Or else... What?  No_Ax_to_Grind | 11/05/04
Or else watch Solaris get eaten by linux...  Jeff Spicoli | 11/05/04
Maybe, maybe not. Many more machines running Solaris than Linux.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 11/05/04
Maybe, maybe not.  richdave | 11/05/04
