Additional Solaris 8 Foundation Source Program and Process Information
1. Registration
The registration Web site will ask you to provide some basic
information about yourself and your organization. The information will
be used to notify you about Solaris[tm] software updates, bug fixes,
support options, and other matters related directly to the Solaris
Operating Environment.
To participate in this program, you are required to complete the online survey. It is very important that you provide accurate data.
2. License Agreement
After registering, you will be asked to read and accept the terms of
the Solaris Foundation Source Code license agreement. The
agreement is a binding legal document between you and Sun that defines
each party's rights and responsibilities, so read it carefully before
indicating your acceptance. If you are requesting access to download
the source, you will be required to print the agreement, provide all
requested information (including your signature), and fax it back to
Sun before you can be granted access. If you are purchasing a media
kit, you must click the "Agree" button on the Solaris 8 Foundation
Source click through agreement page.
The license you will receive under this program is a royalty-free right to use the Solaris 8 Foundation Source license. You will be required to hold all discussions on this topic on a password-protected Discussion Forum. The location and password for this Discussion Forum will be included as part of your download or media kit.
Right To Use
Under the agreement, you can use the compiled version of Solaris 8
Foundation Source software provided by Sun for any commercial or
non-commercial purpose, as licensed through this program.
No Ownership Rights
You will not receive any intellectual property or other ownership rights to the Solaris software.
No Right To Make Copies or Share Media
Each person or organization interested in obtaining a free license to
use the Solaris 8 Foundation Source must register directly with Sun,
accept the
terms of Foundation Source Code license agreement, and receive the
software directly from Sun. This means you cannot transfer either a
copy of the Solaris Foundation Source code or your CDs to anyone
outside your company or organization.
