In the installation instructions for Open Solaris, the "Closed BinariesâOS/Networking (ON) Components" (on-closed-bins-DATE.PLATFORM.tar.bz2) are listed as a necessary component to the OpenSolaris system. The name implies (to me at least) that at least part of the networking code for the kernel isn't open. How does Nexenta get around this? Are the closed binaries not actually necessary for the full functionality of the OS, or did Nexenta make their own implementation of those parts?
