Re: [osol-discuss] Solaris on HP x86 servers

[Roger Bisson]

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 It may be that Oracle has withdrawn its free commercial 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.
