"We will open source Solaris."
So said Sun Microsystems' president and chief operating officer Jonathan Schwartz at an Asia Pacific press conference in Shanghai today.
"I don't want to say when that will happen. But make no mistake, we will open source Solaris," he declared.
The move is a widely anticipated one. Still, what will keep users and the press guessing for now is what form the licensing model of its longstanding server operating system will take as Schwartz refused to elaborate.
