There is no requirement that you, or I, or anyone else in particular, be able to build and run any particular shell. While that's nice if possible, a shell is still a shell even if its source code is not openly available at all (like any that are in closed source systems, if any of those still really exist.) Users get to experience those shells too.
We still ship a couple closed source shells in Solaris - the SVR4 Bourne Shell as /usr/sunos/bin/sh and a modified ksh88 as /usr/xpg4/bin/sh, but our primary day to day shells are the common open source ones - bash, ksh93, zsh, etc. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - https://blogs.oracle.com/alanc
