Some long time ago, I worked with Solaris 9, and as far as I remember, that
was around the time when also the Solaris 10 was about to be released, and
also having its x86 image available for public download just as a Linux
distro for the first time. What I still find rather unclear are the
licensing terms of utilizing Solaris 10, which right now I'm downloading
from Sun.com. Does Solaris 10 require that a license be purchased if the
system is to be utilized commercially? Or whichever is the deal. Thanks.
