5 OPEN SOURCE AND SUN Harry J Foxwell, PhD OS Ambassador Sun Microsystems Federal, Inc

6 What is Open Source? Source Binary OSI Definition static void vdev_raidz_reconstruct_q(rai dz_map_t *rm, int x) uint64_t *dst, *src, xcount, ccount, count, mask, i; uint8_t *b; int c, j, exp; xcount = rm- >rm_col[x].rc_size / sizeof (src[0]); ASSERT(xcount <= rm- >rm_col[vdev_raidz_q].rc_siz e / sizeof (src Free Redistribution of Code 2. Source Code Available 3. Allows Derived Works 4. Allows Integrity of Author's Source Code 5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor 7. Distribution of License with Code 8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product 9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software 10. License Must Be Technology-Neutral > An effective and inexpensive way to foster innovation in software > Open source requires freedom: >You cannot control it...you harness it...and you participate!

7 Why Do Government Agencies, Educational Institutions & Commercial Businesses Use Open Source Software? Free acquisition and right-to-use, -duplicate, and - distribute licensing models Community development model and source code availability Available on wide variety of operating systems and hardware platforms Vast collection of high-quality, mission-criticalcapable software Paid support usually available > get/use for free > contract for support when required

8 Isn't Open Source the Same as Linux? No! Open source applications are available on nearly all operating system kernels, including Linux, Solaris, OpenSolaris, Apple OS X, and even MS Windows Linux is just one of several popular open source operating system kernels...others include OpenSolaris, and BSD (basis of Apple OS X) apache, tomcat, perl, samba, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird, Gnome desktop, gcc compiler tools, GRUB,... are all open source applications, not Linux applications >...all of these run and are supported by Sun on Solaris

9 The Open Source Environment

11 Open Source Momentum Some facts: > 800,000 -the number of developers contributing to open source >most of them employed by IT providers, many at Sun! > 30 and 11 -average age and years of programming experience of the average contributor > 87% -estimated number of US businesses using open source Critical in developing economies (Brazil, Russia, India, China) the most significant all-encompassing and long-term trend that the software industry has seen since the early 1980s. IDC Group Report August 2006

12 DoD needs to leverage the corporate mindset that goes along with the shift to Open Technology Development...technology is now a commodity and the business model is providing professional services for solutions versus closed products. DoD Open Technology Roadmap Plan, April 2006

13 What the Community is saying about OpenSolaris: I think Sun, with this contribution, has contributed more than any other company to the free software community in the form of software. It shows leadership. It s an example I hope others will follow.. Richard Stallman Free Software Foundation

14 Benefits to the User No cost at the point of acquisition > Low barrier to adoption > Flexibility at deployment, predictable license costs Vendor lock-in is reduced: > Low / no barrier for suppliers to enter the market > Low / no barrier to customer to exit a relationship Increased customizability of software Commercial and community support Pay at the point of value

15 Open Source Landscape Well established in parts of the stack for years. GNU/Linux: > well established in the data center > growing on the developers' desktops (Red Hat, Suse, Ubuntu) Open Source equivalents exist for almost all user and enterprise/infrastructure software Closed / Proprietary software must be highly differentiated. Open Source favored to be the leading player in every market over time. Apache Web Server Market Share (source: Netcraft)

16 Open Source Licensing A. Unrestrictive Licenses The three main categories: B. File-Based Licenses C. Project-Based Licenses Attribution licenses Fewest requirements, unrestricted scope of use. Unrestricted development of derived works Examples: Apache: JXTA, Jini BSD: Sun Labs (various) Community fostering licenses Files derived from common files must be shared with the commons. Other derived works may be licensed in any manner. Examples: CDDL: OpenSolaris, JavaEE / Glassfish, NetBeans Project fostering licenses Most requirements: seeks to propagate open source. All work (including derived works) must be shared with the commons. Examples: GPL: OpenSPARC, Project Looking Glass LGPL: OpenOffice

17 Sun's Open Source Licensing Sun sees value in all three categories Decisions on which license to use are based on > Aims for the project > Code encumbrances OpenSolaris is under the CDDL, a category B license OpenSPARC is under the GPL, a category C license Java is now under GPLv2 Sun is responsible about license proliferation

18 Sun s History of Community

19 Open Source and Sun, then : Sun 1 Workstation > 1MHz, 1 megapixel, 1MB > BSD OS 4.02 Long-standing support for open standards > TCP/IP > NFS > X Windows 1990: Sun buys rights to UNIX > Enables OpenSolaris today Sun 1 Workstation

20 Open Source and Sun, now Sun is the biggest contributor of code to open source in the world. Sun has always maintained its commitment to open standards. Sun has continued to contribute to open source throughout the 90s and 00s. Sun has a public commitment to open source all of our software...

26 Java Java is a set of specifications. Open-sourcing Java = opening Sun s implementation of the 3 specifications: > Java SE (or JDK), Java ME, Java EE Java EE opened under CDDL in 2005 as Glassfish November 2006, Free and Open-Source Java > Java SE opened as OpenJDK under GPL (with Classpath exception) > Java ME opened as Mobile & Embedded under GPL > Project Glassfish to be relicensed under GPL and CDDL > Duke, the Java technology mascot, released under BSD license.

27 Free and Open Java Status Flavour Community Status Roadmap Java SE First code released, Community launched at Code released Java ME Mobile & Embedded Community launched at Java EE OpenJDK Glassfish openjdk.dev.java.net mobileandembedded.org Code released Community live at glassfish.dev.java.net Fully buildable JDK Dual license, CDDL and GPL

28 What Sun Sells: Added Value Sun's open source software is free at the point of acquisition: > Zero-cost right-to-use (RTU) You pay for software at the point of value: > Developer support > Enterprise support > Indemnification > Training and education The more users the better Customers are users who purchase support
