Oracle has stated that going forward OpenSolaris will NOT have all packages
from Solaris prime.
That's always been the case since the OpenSolaris distribution was created
over 2 years ago. Again, nothing new, unless you're referring to or know
something different.
Oracle is doing "Welcome Sessions" and when I attended the London one
couple of weeks ago they mentioned that not everything will be open
source in Open Solaris. I don't know what exactly they mean by that but
I guess they are referring to products like Fish Works which is based on
Open Solaris but still it is not an open source product. We should
except more products/appliances like this in the future I think. I would
be very surprised (and disappointed) if Oracle would start closing main
components of the OS. I doubt they will.
