Nobody was suggesting that Open Solaris go GPL, merely that the
license be
modified to be GPL compatible.
Personally, I think the GPL should be modified to be CDDL compatible.
Most certainly not, if you don't like GPLed software, don't use it, it
is as
simple as that, but trying to take over the code (ten, hundred ?)
thousands of
free software authors have placed under the GPL is highly unethical.
So I have to ask, why is it OK for the GPL to insist that in the name
of "compatibility" code under other licenses should be irrevocably
re-licensed under just the GPL when combined into derivative works, but
"unethical" to suggest that code licensed under the GPL should be
re-licensable under other licenses under the same circumstances?
Equally friendly :-)
