This is exactly what I have in mind from my talk with Andy Tucker
in September 2004.
Andy asked me about what I am thinking of a license that is GPL imcompatible
by intention and I replied to him that this would cause a lot of trouble.
Andy was very glad to hear this and told me that he has the same impression.
We did talk more in detail and agreed in the impression that Sun has a lug
by the fact that Sun inventions are seen first on Solaris and that people could
re-implement any invention regardless of the license, so it even makes no
sense to have a license that is incompatible to the GPL.
