SECTION I
ANNOUNCEMENT BRIEF
------------------
Sun Microsystems Computer Company (SMCC) announces repackaging and
repricing of the ScholarPAC(TM) Solaris(TM) Source Code version 2.5.1.
This product now includes both SPARC(TM) and Intel licenses as well as
the Device Developers Kit (DDK) for users to create their own special
software drivers.
Sun is making the source code for the Solaris operating environment,
the industry's leading version of UNIX(R), available free of charge --
for research and study purposes only -- to the higher education
community around the world. The source code will only be free to
customers that include another product on their purchase order to Sun.
By providing the source for "free" we will not only give university
researchers and students hands-on experience with Solaris source code,
but will help ensure that Solaris benefits from the latest innovation
and research at the world's top computer research labs.
As part of the program, Sun will institute a support and update program
to share ideas for enhancing Solaris.
All previous 2.5 and 2.5.1 versions of ScholarPAC source code are no
longer available.
