I didn't realize Oracle was still selling Solaris.
Kind of undermines their marketing claims that they are now committed to open source. All the big tech companies have some things that are open source and some things that are not. Oracle's marketing, in an attempt to distance themselves from the Oracle that took Solaris closed source and to attract customers to their hosted Linux offerings, has implied that they are more committed to open source than other vendors ("Oracle has been, and continues to be, fully committed to offering freedom of technology choice") (reading between the lines in their announcement and commitment to OpenELA, a fork of RHEL after the latter started complying with only the letter of the GPL, and not the spirit, they seem to commit to not doing what Redhat did). But the Oracle contributing to open source Oracle Linux is the same Oracle that is still selling closed source Solaris.
