Brewin Denounces GPL Solaris @ JavaOne

Computer World has published a very brief Q&A with Sun CTO Bob Brewin. Brewin's comments primarily focus on Java at JavaOne with all of the GPL code being on track for release before next month, but he does make an interesting comment about whether we will see a GPL-ized version of Solaris at JavaOne. Brewin states: "We haven't decided what we are going to do about that. JavaOne is the wrong place to do that. We're keeping a really close eye on the upcoming GPL 3. It is one of the things that will gate our decision. That is due out in July. We want to see how that will play out, and then we will make our decision." This comment is in contrast to BusinessWeek's article yesterday stating Jonathan Schwartz may announce Solaris adopting the GPL during the JavaOne conference next week.
