Let me add another statement....
I believe that the fact that Sven is creating the impression, there are
unsolved probmlems with the CDDL, is causing damage to the OpenSolaris
project and maybe to other projects that use the CDDL.
He has two basic approaches:
- Telling people that you are not allowed to run GPLd software
on top of non-GPL operating systems or to ship both together
on a single medium.
If this was true, most operating systems (including all Linux
distributions I am aware of) would be illegal.
- Telling people that the CDDL is not accepted as true OSS license.
In fact, the CDDL is accepted by both: OSI and Debian.
