Sun Microsystems Will Give Its Software to Students and Faculty Members Free - FLORENCE OLSEN, the Chronicle
Sun Microsystems is giving students and professors a free ride. The company announced on Monday that it would no longer charge them for nearly 100 software products, including programming tools. Excluded from the program are colleges' administrative offices. They will continue to pay the usual license fees. Students and faculty members will gain free access to many of Sun's Java programming tools, which are used to write programs that run on the Web. The portfolio of free products will include Solaris 9, which is Sun's proprietary version of the Unix operating system; StarOffice, which includes a word-processing program; and Sun One Studio, a suite of developer tools for Sun's Java platform.
