Thanks, but I wonder whether there are sites that document this but
are not related to specific commercial entities.
  

I'm not aware of such. But I believe the new link and old one are "similar" and referring to the same page. Isn't it?

I get 404 for the old one.

Isn't this page describing the same stuff:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DTrace
  

Yeah, that's why I made this change. The latest "old" version I've found is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20210702172846/https://oss.oracle.com/projects/DTrace/

So should we use link from Wikipedia? If we want to be just replace old link, to the "same page" we probably need to use the link I have in the patch, but if we want to stay as far away from brands/commercial entities, then probably link to the Wikipedia is better. But in the second case, document reader will need to go to Wikipedia, then follow to links on the Wikipedia page.
Or as an option we can directly use link from Wikipedia: https://dtrace.org/about/
Which approach you find more desirable?

I prefer to link to Wikipedia, since that is unlikely to go away.  But
let's hear what others here think about this.

Hi Eli, Eduard,

The docs are indeed on the docs.oracle.com website.

Dtrace.org is not the dtrace for linux work we are doing.

We have a github repo which contains the active development and a
readme.md which explains how to get the various pieces, etc, not sure if
that's is more acceptable: https://github.com/oracle/dtrace-utils

The wikipedia page is pointing to a different CDDL version of dtrace,
which seems to not be in active development.

thanks
elena
