1) Message boards : Number crunching : Is there a Solaris application in the works? (Message 449) Posted 25 Sep 2005 by Sun-Microsystems.ORG Post: I talked to David Baker and he said that what we have done in the past is let companies get the code for free if they were willing to make their changes also available to academic users (who already can get the source code for free) so everyone can benefit. The contact person for more information about this and licensing rosetta is: Gabrielle Campbell gvcamp at u.washington.edu Great! that's how the GPL license and some other works, every change you make to improve a product contributes to the community. Our main interest is to make the Solaris ports available to other users so as soon as we get the binaries to our platform we will make them available for everybody. We will even send you the Solaris versions in order you can put them on the official website if you want. We will contact Gabrielle to talk her about this. Thank you very much.

(Message 383) Posted 23 Sep 2005 by Sun-Microsystems.ORG Post: If you are able to develop a Solaris version I could help you to test it in a lot of different arquitectures and CPUs (SparcStation, UltraSparc-I, US-II, US-III and US-IV cpus and Solaris 10 on brand new x64 servers). If the application source code were publicly available it could help to speed up the process of porting to other 'minor' Operating Systems.
