    An article by Stephen Shankland:

    ``Sun Microsystems has secured a crucial approval in its plan to make its Solaris operating system an open-source project, CNET News.com has learned.

    ``In December, Sun submitted its Community Development and Distribution License, or CDDL, for approval by the Open Source Initiative, the nonprofit group that decides whether software license agreements meet the terms of its Open Source Definition. OSI's board approved the CDDL on Friday, board member Russ Nelson said.

    ``Sun won't comment on whether the CDDL will govern Solaris, but sources familiar with the situation say it will. Sun has said it will release Solaris under an OSI-approved open-source license by the end of January.''
