I would like it to be that way, but..
..they clearly indicate that code releases will happen Only after
"full releases of our enterprise Solaris " that means Solaris 11, NOT
Solaris Express, that is only in binary form.
If releases will follow Solaris Express releases, that would be
preferable and allow of open source user and developer community to
spread (and contribute), beside closed Solaris users crowd.
I see it they will release source after a binary release. They cannot
release a binary without releasing the source per CDDL. They would have
to fork the code to a new license to do that.
We will distribute updates to approved CDDL or other open source-
licensed code following full releases of our enterprise Solaris
operating system. In this manner, new technology innovations will
show up in our releases before anywhere else. We will no longer
distribute source code for the entirety of the Solaris operating
system in real-time while it is developed, on a nightly basis.
Anyway, anyone who will continue to use Solaris Express after
migrating from Opensolaris, should not be fooled to use open source OS
and will get proprietary system in binary form instead.
And Solaris 11 as full proprietary will, MAYBE, have CDDL source
releases for already-licensed and changed source code, but only what
they want to release and with no obligation to do so.
**Internal memo that is leaked is hardly an official statement,
neither willing obligation to release code indefinitely).
