Whilst the Oracle Server Support Business model is fully appreciated, Oracle is releasing its Solaris 11.4 distribution to the Developer Community. As the system is developed and updated certain older software is removed. The question is simply:
Could such software, possibly with source code, be released to the Developer Community under the CDDL on an 'As Is Basis' on the condition that any updates/development are released back to Oracle.
The reason for the request is, for example the demise of GUI version of Package-Manager which was a useful tool for the managing and updating the system, particularly for the individual who doesn't wish to spend time delving into various manuals and books.
Any ‘developed’ code could be released / managed through github.
