If the authors of the GPLd software in question are going to insist on the GPL, which I think they are: consider, gcc, dpkg, and so forth, which are GPLd and whose authors are not going to bend; and if Sun is going to insist on the CDDL, then there may be no resolution. The licenses are incompatible. Unless one or both changes, there may not be a solution. It is Sun's desire to impose these restrictions on the copying of its software. It is the GPL's desire not to allow its binaries to be distributed unless restrictions like Sun's are absent. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
