From information posed on the OpenSolaris discussion boards 4Front Technologies plan to offer the source code of OSS v4 under both the CDDL and GPLv2 licenses. "The rumors are true, we're planning on open sourcing Open Sound (on June 14th). We will be offering the source code under CDDL to Solaris and GPLv2 for Linux BSD, OpenServer etc."

>>This is a good thing, because ALSA seems to much more sophisticated than the OSS. And it's still getting better and better. <<
Actually that's a fallacy, the version of OSS in the Linux kernel was based off the original Open source release of OSS in the early 90's. This was taken closed sourced by 4Front Technologies.
What is been released as opensource is OSS v4.0 quite a different beast from the OSS implementation found in *BSD or use to be found in Linux kernel.
It's like a couple of years ago comparing a commercial Xserver release to the publicly available ones, quite different animals!
