This is completely UNTRUE, and I really hope that we at least don't repeat the FUD here. The 90-day trial language already existed in Sun's license. The reason that Oracle specifically spells it out was probably in response to complaints from those of us who have been dutifully paying licensing fees. Nothing has changed as far as the right to use is concerned. For anyone who cares to read the licensing agreement for the downloaded version of Solaris 10, s/he should easily find out that there is no time limit for "internal use". Oracle intentionally left this term undefined. Since any ambiguity in a contract is interpreted against the drafter, it is fairly safe to say that anything that does not register on Oracle's radar (e.g., you are not making the kind of $$$ that's worth Oracle's attorney fees) will fall under the "internal use" exception. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
