Huh? *You* were talking about the Debian rules, now you are switching to
legal backgrounds? Could you please decide what you want?

I suggest you don't take this stuff personally; perhaps you sell the
rights on the software tomorrow to someone else, who could then start to
sue the users based upon your choice of venue of today.

I suggest you reread my statements. I didn't say much about the CDDL (in
fact, nothing at all; perhaps I should have chosen a clearer subject).
However, you have chosen a choice of venue -- and that is the point of
my bug report.
OTOH, I seriously wonder why the maintainer didn't react on this one,
one way or another.
