[ug-glug] [Fwd: Re: How does the licensing for Solaris 10 work for non-commercial and commercial purposes?]

[Jeff Huber]

The Solaris Operating System Licensing Policies are outlined at:

http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/licensing/policies.xml

Basically there is no charge unless you are looking for support. For 
commercial use there is a registration process through the Sun Download 
Center that gets you an Entitlement Document.
