The Solaris operating system is being released under the terms of the OSI-approved, Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) Version 1.0. Millions of development hours worth of code and over 1,600 patents are being contributed to the open source community. We know that innovation happens everywhere. And we’re going to stand shoulder to shoulder with you. To push Solaris. And see how far we — together — can take it.
The opensolaris.org web site will be the center for OpenSolaris activity. The source code for one of the Solaris operating system’s most advanced features – Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) is available here. And there’s more to come. We invite you to take a look. Expect to see buildable Solaris code here in Q2 2005.
