Before I forget, one big thing that we do need out of Sun's legal department: once there is a distribution constructor, there needs to be a very clear and concise FAQ about the CDDL and how it can be combined with other licenses so that people making their own distributions can be confident they are doing "the right thing". It should be general advice of course with the disclaimer that they seek their own legal counsel, but I think it would be inexcusable to leave people without any guidance. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
