Sun license gets open-source nod

Sun  Microsystems has secured a crucial  approval in its  plan to make
its Solaris operating system an open-source project, CNET News.com has
learned.

  In   December,  Sun  submitted   its   Community   Development   and
  Distribution  License,  or  CDDL,  for approval by  the  Open Source
  Initiative,  the  nonprofit group    that decides  whether  software
  license  agreements  meet   the     terms  of  its  Open      Source
  Definition. OSI's board approved  the  CDDL on Friday,  board member
  Russ Nelson said.

  Sun  won't  comment on  whether  the  CDDL will govern  Solaris, but
  sources familiar with the  situation say it  will.  Sun has said  it
  will release Solaris  under  an OSI-approved open-source license  by
  the end of January.
