Oracle clamps down on Sun hardware support contracts
,----[ Quote ]
| "This sudden about-face in which Oracle
| wants a support contract for essentially
| any use of Solaris will make me think long
| and hard about deploying Solaris instead of
| Linux or another free OS in the future,"
| said Bill Bradford, a senior systems
| administrator at an energy services firm in
| Houston, Texas.

Oracle's OpenSolaris 2010.03 Is M.I.A.
,----[ Quote ]
| We've known that Oracle is to make some
| Solaris / OpenSolaris changes, but all
| signs have been that they would move
| forward with the OpenSolaris 2010.03
| release in March as planned. OpenSolaris
| 2010.03 will supersede OpenSolaris 2009.06
| that was released last June.

Daily Dose - Solaris 10 License Change
,----[ Quote ]
| Sun Solaris 10 was previously available for
| free without support after submitting a
| valid email. With the Sun acquisition
| finalized, Oracle has only given customers
| a 90-day free trial of Solaris 10, hoping
| to gain some paying customers from those
| with existing Solaris 10 systems. This
| change could lead to a mass migration to
| Linux vendors. Most of Linux's new
| customers come from Unix migrations, and
| Solaris 10 is the largest Unix platform.

License change leaves Sun Solaris users at a crossroads
,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle's decision to limit Solaris 10's
| free usage to 90 days could be a boon for
| Linux vendors
|
| Recent changes to Solaris licensing could
| further encourage Solaris 10 users to
| consider Linux -- and result in fewer new
| users considering Solaris at all. If you're
| a Solaris customer, don't overlook this
| license change.

Oracle/Sun Enforces Pay-For-Security-Updates Plan
,----[ Quote ]
| An anonymous reader writes "Recently, the
| Oracle/Sun conglomerate has denied public
| download access to all service packs for
| Solaris unless you have a support contract.
| Now, paying a premium for gold-class
| service is nothing new in the industry, but
| withholding critical security updates
| smacks of extortion. While this pay-for-
| play model may be de rigueur for enterprise
| database systems, it is certainly not the
| norm for OS manufactures. What may be more
| interesting is how Oracle/Sun is able to
| sidestep GNU licensing requirements since
| several of the Solaris cluster packs
| contain patches to GNU utilities and
| applications."
