Solaris开放源代码已经不是第一次了，但是这一次，似乎更近一步，下面的文字来自OpenSolaris的官方网站的首页：

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.

OpenSolaris的Licesne是CDDL而不是GPL，都有哪些不同呢？
1600项专利，而且包含很多最新的专利，是不是比IBM更有力度呢。

但到目前为止，还不能download到Solaris的代码，但Sun为证明自己的决心，还是提供了Solaris10最引人瞩目的一项技术Dtrace的源代码：

Soon, you'll be able to download the OpenSolaris distribution. For now -- just to prove that we're serious -- we've made available the source code to DTrace; it's available here under the CDDL License.

OpenSolaris能否在Linux及Freebsd竞争中去得成功？时间会证明一切！
