Open Solaris requries a joint copyright arrangement. You can read the details here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/sun_contributor_agreement/ As the author you, of course, retain your copyright interest. You don't have to give that away. > How would we handle code shared between the Linux and > OpenSolaris driver? If you're the author of the code, you can issue it under as many or as few separate licenses as you choose. It's your issue. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
