Hi Darren,hi community IMHO the role of Opensolaris in opensource communities is not clear.It seems to be something like a different mode for Sun to promote Solaris and not an independent community.
Which is exactly the goal of this Commuity? An entire CDDL opensource system like freebsd (1) or a Solaris opensource subsystem like kernel dot org (2)? 1) The first choice would a complete builtable OS from source,from kernel to Gnome *entirely* driven by opensolaris community. 2) This choice requires to add GPL(v3?) license to opensolaris system and offer it as (better) alternative than linux kernel. I don't understand the role and the goals of Indiana like "binary opensolaris distro".Out of here the sources are a prerequisites for every opensource community.The Idea about "only binary" is dangerous:It could be a clear message to potentially reject every collaborative work between Sun,OpenSolaris community and the rest of open world (communities and single developer).
