Why do believe that nobody should mention that there is a gap between what http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/roadmap/;jsessionid=B5D4C79B682A7C7284C44EB0E3FED56B did list before and what really happened. > As for answering the original question it is all about time to > do the analysis to ensure that Sun has all of the necessary legal > rights to release the source.

The real problem is that Sun is hiding too much of the work behind the curtain so people will see what Sun did announce and compare with what happenes. We all know that the legal check is cost intensive but this does not help people who compare previous Sun announces with reality. It would help is Sun would be more open ragrding information about the state of certain projects.
