It might very well be possible to purchase a contract for Solaris from Dell. That does not change the fact, however, that the license agreement has changed, without warning, and without notification or clarification. It creates confusion and allows threads like these to happen. I understand the merger is fresh and a lot needs to be worked out. Communication is the key. Communicate with your customers, ensure your sales reps have the latest information, and make sure you customers understand what is going... or lose them. Oracle needs to let customers know exactly what the license is for Solaris and OpenSolaris. Having different license's from different vendors is ridiculous and only hurts the adoption of Solaris.
