| Mar 28, 2012 at 2:28 | comment | added | Wesley | @RobMoir Fixed. I thought when I uploaded the image to imgur, which gave the image its own URL, I could remove it from my own hosting account. I'm so confused... | |

Image is broken at imgur.com

| Mar 7, 2012 at 0:41 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | @scottishwildcat Nope, the CDDL does not allow you to use the covered software if you impose new restrictions on it. Proprietary and infectious licenses like the GPL need not apply. Same reason the BSDs and OpenSolaris derivatives get along, they can freely use each others code. | |
| Mar 6, 2012 at 22:56 | comment | added | calum_b | @ChrisS I don't disagree, was just saying there's nothing in the proposed ad to indicate that's the case. It's just a list of features that, on the face of it, could just as well be a Solaris 11 feature list, which in itself doesn't give me any compelling reason to click. (And of course, as long as Bryan Cantrill keeps DTrace open, presumably Oracle are quite entitled to include Joyent's version in Solaris if they so wish…) | |
| Mar 6, 2012 at 21:45 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | DTrace is a perfect example where the open source version is superior to Suns's, and almost certainly will be so long as Bryan M. Cantrill is running Joyent, and Oracle keeps Solaris closed. | |
| Mar 6, 2012 at 15:22 | comment | added | Wesley | @scottishwildcat Yes, but most of the core developers of those features left Sun before, during or after the Oracle acquisition. It could be cogently argued that, while the names are the same, the products are of a much higher quality in OpenIndiana that is the benefactor of the engineers who no longer work at Sun/Oracle. Solaris's DTrace isn't the same as OpenIndiana's DTrace. | |
| Mar 6, 2012 at 8:05 | comment | added | calum_b | Can't say it really hits the mark for me, as none of the listed features are unique selling points... all of them are also found in Oracle's own "grown up" successor to OpenSolaris, namely Solaris 11. | |
| Mar 2, 2012 at 0:15 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | Yep, but Oracle deserves it. | |
| Feb 29, 2012 at 22:53 | comment | added | Wesley | Perhaps a bit blasé? | |
