Ideology aside, license wars will end when a license whose terms are trivial to understand _without_ a lawyer (simplified BSD, perhaps?) becomes widespread. Next step in the productivity of humankind would be a flat tax and putting all those H&R Block employees to work doing something useful, like paving roads or flipping burgers. Hoop-jumping that doesn't increase productivity should come to be recognized as a common enemy. Unfortunately, that's not something any one faction, community, company, whatever, can do much about alone. This message posted from opensolaris.org
