Is Solaris truly open source?
,----[ Quote ]
| ...if you dig into the idea of open source, there still is an
| ideological connotation to its definition, for better or worse.
| It's the idea of community development. Source that is freely
| available is valuable because it allows others to modify and
| improve that software. No one gets paid for their effort, but
| everyone enjoys the fruits of their collective labors. It's not
| that Linus Torvalds is promoting socialism with his Linux kernel,
| but he is not thinking about returns on investment either. He just
| wants a good operating system, just as the Apache developers just
| want rock-solid Web server software.
