It would appear as if Oracle is happy to sub-license Solaris if it has the effect of off-loading Operating System support to the licensee. At the point that dialogue is re-established between the OGB and Oracle, it may be worthwhile discussing the establishment of a sub-licensee or an intermediate build for the purpose of facilitating commercial use of Solaris in small to medium sized entities. It may be that Oracle has withdrawn its free commercial licenses from being installed on non-Sun hardware (and non-Sun authorised refurbished hardware) to limit its support liabilities other legal liabilities. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
