Non-commercial usage is available at no charge, while commercial pricing starts at US $99; attractive OEM pricing is also available. Source code for Solaris will now be available. It seems they are after Microsoft, not Linux. More Power to them."

My commentary:
This is freaking great!  I mean, Sun OS and open source can both only get better with this type of thing in the open!  I mean, I'm sure there are some license restrictions on the OS, but it's still open source!  That means we can fix things to make it better!  I'm certainly going to download and install this and gander at the source code.

The revolution has come!!!!!
