Blogging Roller mentions the Open Source release of Solaris:

The said it couldn't be done. They were wrong. OpenSolaris has been released under a true open source license and the project will be run as a true open source project, with outside contributors and independent distros and everything. Congrats to everybody inside and outside of Sun who helped maket his happen. This is definitely a historic day for open source.

But that's not possible - according to that super-genius James Gosling, doing something like this would mean chaos!

"We've got several thousand man-years of engineering in [Java], and we hear very strongly that if this thing turned into an open source project - where just any old person could check in stuff - they'd all freak. They'd all go screaming into the hills."

Hmmm, I say, hmmm
