SUMMARY

Linus Torvalds has joined the OpenSolaris Community Advisory Board (CAB), leading to speculation about a potential fork of the Linux kernel under Sun's Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL). Despite initial credibility from respected sources, the rumor is largely dismissed as an April Fool's joke, particularly after a clarification from Teer's blog. The discussion highlights the skepticism surrounding the announcement and the importance of verifying information from credible sources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the OpenSolaris Community Advisory Board (CAB)
  • Familiarity with the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL)
  • Knowledge of the Linux kernel architecture
  • Awareness of the significance of credible sources in tech discussions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) on open-source projects
  • Explore the structure and role of the OpenSolaris Community Advisory Board (CAB)
  • Investigate the history and development of the Linux kernel
  • Learn about the impact of misinformation in technology forums
USEFUL FOR

Open-source developers, software engineers, and technology enthusiasts interested in the dynamics of community governance and licensing in software development.

Well, it looked reasonable at first (these blogs are from well-respected people). If you look at Teer's blog and at the bottom in the commentary section, you'll see his admission to the April Fool's prank.
