The core of the Mac OS X kernel (Darwin) is also freely downloadable (the source). The value-proposition for Apple is the GUI and other non-OS icing on the OS.

Perderabo's reply about Sun's new policy also shows that Sun is shifting their value-proposition away from proprietary kernel source and looking to build future profits by adding value above the kernel.

There is little doubt in my mind that the movement to open-source for the core kernel code (open and extensible) and value added in the higher levels of the application stack is a path that will reap tremendous benefits to all network computing.

Please keep in mind that IBM is moving to Linux for many (if not most) of their classes of servers (and focusing on the value-proposition outside of the OS kernel).

HP (HP-UX) will need to follow soon (we hope!).

Here is an interesting article about IBM and Linux...... for those interested.

NAME
ketchup - Utility to update the kernel source SYNOPSIS
ketchup [options] <ver> DESCRIPTION
This tool synchronises a local kernel tree with a desired kernel version and patch set from a kernel.org mirror. The default requires a GPG key on your keyring, to verify the identity of the patches and source archives. Entire kernel images are not downloaded unless necessary, so bandwidth is saved. Patches are applied and removed as necessary to attain the requested version. OPTIONS
-a --archive (~/.ketchup) cache directory -d --directory (.) directory to update -f --full-tarball if unpacking a tarball, download the latest -g --gpg-path (/usr/bin/gpg) path for GnuPG -G --no-gpg disable GPG signature verification -k --kernel-url (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel) base url for kernel.org mirror -l --list-trees list supported trees -m --show-makefile output version in makefile <arg> -n --dry-run don't download or apply patches -o --only-dl don't apply patches -p --show-previous output version previous to <arg> -q --quiet reduce output -r --rename-directory rename updated directory to linux-<v> -s --show-latest output the latest version of <arg> -u --show-url output URL for <arg> -w --wget (/usr/bin/wget) command to use for wget CONFIGURATION
Ketchup will read files named .ketchuprc in $HOME and in the target kernel directory, with the kernel directory taking precedence. A .ketchuprc file uses the Python syntax and may set the following variables: default_tree The default_tree option specifies the kernel version to work with if one is not given on the command line. precommand The precommand option specifies a command to run before synchronising the kernel tree to the required version. postcommand The postcommand option specifies a command to run after synchronising the kernel tree to the required version.
