There were many reasons for the decision: • A community development model creates opportunities for collaboration between Sun and the developer and user community. • Many Solaris OS customers care about and require open source. • It allows Sun and its partners to participate in more projects requiring open source software. • Open sourcing creates a platform for a new generation of innovation by allowing developers to leverage the Solaris technology. • It opens up opportunities in new markets for Solaris: for example, startups can now build products around OpenSolaris technology.
