The Register - Že nekaj časa se je šušljalo, sedaj pa so, kot poroča The Register, vendarle izdali svoje orodje DTrace pod odprtokodnim "dovoljenjem" CDDL. Med aprilom in junijem pa naj bi pod istimi pogoji izšel še operacijski sistem Solaris 10, ki ga bodo tej priložnosti primerno preimenovali v OpenSolaris. Po IBMovem zgledu so to dejanje podkrepili še s kar 1600 patenti, ki bodo na voljo za odprtokodne projekte.
Me je zanimalo kaj je DTrace, ker v novici ni omenjeno.
DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework for the Solaris Operating Environment. DTrace provides a powerful infrastructure to permit administrators, developers, and service personnel to concisely answer arbitrary questions about the behavior of the operating system and user programs.

Historically, Sun has contributed more code to open source initiatives than all other organizations with the exception of UC Berkeley, and remains committed to providing engineering support for Apache, Mozilla, Gnome, OpenOffice, Grid, JXTA, ODSL and other open source projects. Previously, Sun donated the source code of StarOffice software, which drives the OpenOffice suite bundled with most versions of Linux and was awarded a Product Excellence Award at the 2004 LinuxWorld Conference & Expo for Best Productivity/Business Application.
Hja, s OS se grejo skupni boj proti MS, to je več kot očitno. Lahko, da jim bo uspelo, lahko bodo pa popušili vsi skupaj. Potem bo pa še večji fak.

Kolikor je videti, so licence za uporabo patentiranih algoritmov omejili na kodo pod CDDL. Porecejo pa, da GPL in CDDL nista zdruzljiva, torej je prispevek Sun-a manjsi, kot je na prvi pogled. Mogoce pa Sun noce videti izboljsav v Linux kernelu?
