But I understand Alan's point I don't think complete acceptance is unrealistic, and would certainly hope that the GPL community would be able to live with CDDL, given the amount of GPL code we have and contribute back to from Sun. A shame for the Nexenta project, because I have to say it's the most impressive to date for the amount of work put into it. Yet, this very project is shadowed because of some license technicalities. I'm sorry that Sun doesn't stand up to the plate more for the folks that do license their code under CDDL, in defense of folks that don't belive it is open and free. Sorry that something such as a license issue would cause people to get cranky over their inbox. It's important to me, and I think it's important to Sun. Rehashed you might say? Yeah, it's a shame it still lingers on today 9 months after the fact...a shame indeed.:-( -- Alan DuBoff - Sun Microsystems Solaris x86 Engineering - IHV/OEM Group _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
