SUN CHANGES FREE SOLARIS LICENSING POLICY

Posted by Bill Bradford on May 22, 2002

Sun has apparently changed their Free Solaris licensing
program. Solaris used to be free for noncommercial use on any
system with less than eight CPUs; it appears that it is now only
free for noncommercial use on systems with ONE processor. I guess
Sun doesent think that people might own multi-CPU systems at home.
Feel free to send me your comments or thoughts – I’ll start posting
a “reader review” section on both Solaris 9 and the new licensing
scheme for home/nonprofit use.
