“Network computing products and services provider Sun
Microsystems…plans to freely release the source code for its
proprietary Solaris operating system to catch the rising tide
spurred by Linux, an industry-sweeping operating system free to all
users…”
“The company hopes releasing Solaris’ code will spur greater use
of the system and encourage developers to design new applications,
much the same way developers have improved and added features to
Linux…”
“What does this mean for investors? Hopefully innovation,
competition, and opportunity.“
