Can we please restrict this kind of dogmatic assertion to Groklaw? CDDL (the license for OpenSolaris) is an OSI-approved license; it is just as open as the BSD license or the MPL or any other OSI-approved license. As for Unix history, you can definitely see the Sixth Edition roots of Solaris. Look, for example, at the comment above exit(): http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/usr/src/uts/common/os/exit.c#exit Pretty amazing that this comment hasn't changed in 30+ years... - Bryan -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bryan Cantrill, Solaris Kernel Development. http://blogs.sun.com/bmc
