>You brought up a very interesting point. Since on a file-by-file basis, CDDL >is essentially the s ame as GPL, I am now wondering whether it might a good idea (at least for sanity purposes) to separ ate the Solaris/OpenSolaris kernel into two parts: the GPL part and the binary-only part. Eventual ly, the GPL part of the OpenSolaris kernel should be extensive enough such that a customer will fee l comfortably protected (i.e., s/he will feel not being held hostage by Sun). Sun still gets to co ntrol the development of the GPL'ed portion of the Solaris/OpenSolaris kernel, to the same extent a s, or expectedly more so than, Linus does wrt the Linux kernel.
The GPL doesn't allow this. End of discussion. Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
