A high-ranking Sun Microsystems official is denying a published report that the company is set to license its OpenSolaris OS under the GNU General Public License version 3.“I have to say I was surprised because it just ain’t so,” said Rich Green, executive vice president for software at Sun, in his blog on Wednesday. “This is primarily due to the fact that the terms of GPLv3 aren’t final, thus making it impossible for us to commit to it. It would be like signing a contract with blanks to be filled in later.”Discussions of Sun utilizing the GPL for Solaris have been going on for several years, apparently. Sun on Tuesday said no decision had been made on the GPL issue and Green’s blog reaffirms that. For the moment, anyway. Software Development
