After Oracle's complete acquisition of Sun, certain OpenSolaris users doubted OpenSolaris would survive. However, in a recent blog post, we are assured OpenSolaris will continue to be open and will receive the same, if not more, devoted development time. I'm happy to see Oracle not killing OpenSolaris. What I would love to see is for them to stop development of Linux's BTRFS and to relicense ZFS with a GPL-compatible license and port ZFS to Linux. I'm also excited for the day when KDE4 is stable and officially supported, complete with a KDE version of Gnome's TimeSlider. For now, we will have to wait and see how this turns out.
