| Torvalds: waiting to see Sun's Open Solaris |
|---|
Linus Torvalds claims he is taking Sun Microsystems seriously -- Sun plans to offer an open source version of its Solaris 10 operating system -- but the Linux creator and chief developer says he'll reserve judgment until code becomes available.
At a panel this week during Enterprise Linux Summit, Torvalds said Sun's efforts to open source Solaris 10 according to the OSI-approved Community Development and Distribution License (CDDL) could give Linux a viable open source rival in the operating-system market.
