And this brings an interesting topic. Whether GPL-licensed OpenSolaris driver could be legally shipped as a separated package within an OpenSolaris-based distribution like NexentaOS? My wild guess is that it would be OK. If Sun wants more contribution from folks who ports GPL drivers => OpenSolaris, I think it needs to be clarified by Sun lawyers somewhere in the publicly available FAQ. -- Erast _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
