failed to understand you here... a) in case of dual-licensing model, distros will have full rights to choose under which license to progress. If they choose GPLv3, its their choice; b) needed encumbered binaries should be considered as separate modules and still distro-builders will have full rights to re-distribute them. -- Erast _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
