But getting back to the main point: I don't think we're ever going to agree on SW licensing philosophy, but I don't think there's any way that OpenSolaris can be icensed under the GPL. The need and/or desire to link with 3rd party code that may or may not be open source prevents it.
That is not a real obstacle. It could be licensed under a GPL-compatible license, and still permit linking with whatever else they wish, including non-free software. As an extreme example, the revised BSD license is GPL-compatible and permits linking with absolutely anything. They could use a disjunctive license GPL|CDDL if they want. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
