In recent
years I've become a lot more of supporter of just BSD'ing stuff and
staying
out of license discussions. People love to debate the GPL... I don't.
This isn't a BSD versus GPL debate. Sun can resell commercial licenses
to Drizzle. That should be made clear in the FAQ.
Exactly, that is the (probably not specifically intended) consequence
of the BSD licensing.
It allows Sun to resell non-GPL aka commercial licenses, i.e. continue
the dual-licensing nightmare.
The latter part of the sentence is naturally my interpretation of what
it means, but the former bit is unequivocal and should be stated in
the FAQ as a matter of fact.
Thanks
Cheers,
Arjen.
