Please finally stop your FUD!
The CDDL definitely is a free license and Sun will definitely not publish
any packages that could create problems.
This is why Sun e.g. stopped publishing "libcdio" a year ago in order to avoid
a license violation from this lib.
Sun cares about publishing only 100% legal software. Linux distributors did not
even stop publishing "libcdio".
