Solaris Open Source

Sun is Open Sourcing Solaris OS
Today, June 14, 2005, is Opening Day for OpenSolaris.

Sun has open sourced its Solaris operating system.

OpenSolaris is an open source project. It's also a community and a website for collaboration, conversation, source, downloads, mailing lists, events and developer tools all available at http://opensolaris.org. OpenSolaris includes a single source base for SPARC and x86/x64. It features all the key  innovations that we recently delivered in the Solaris 10 OS - unparalleled features like DTrace and Containers and Predictive Self-Healing. The Solaris 10 OS is the latest version of Sun's tested, certified and supported enterprise operating system, available free for download. Future versions of the Solaris operating system will be based on technology from OpenSolaris. Sun will continue to invest in delivering a high quality, highly secure and reliable commercial Solaris Operating System, with the same amount of extensive quality testing and security protection as always expected. With OpenSolaris, we'll get the most advanced operating system on the planet - millions of lines of newly opened source code - into more people's hands. To stimulate innovation.

Sun's heritage is in open standards and open source. Open sourcing the Solaris OS makes good business sense for Sun and our developers and customers. penSolaris allows Sun and our partners to bid on and participate in projects that require open source software. It also enables developers and partners to leverage Sun technology for their own purposes. The end result will be an expanded ecosystem and market opportunities for Sun systems and services (and for our partners, ISVs, resellers and community members!).

Further questions or feedback can be sent to whatshappening@sun.com.
