Do you have some kind of further analysis of the CDDL somewhere ?
Apparently we did not write one in detail. I will ask someone at the
FSF to do that.
That said, am i right in thnking that the kernel/userland interface is of
the
kind that doesn't cause derivative work considerations ? I mean most of the
userland runs as well on linux, and the interface between it and the
opensolaris kernels is clearly defines, so it would be no problem running a
glibc based userland on top of an opensolaris kernel, even though the CDDL
and
the GPL are incompatible ?
The user programs link with libc but not directly with the kernel.
People generally consider the kernel and libc not to be one combined
program, so the GPL will not have effects across that boundary.
Note that the license of glibc is not the GPL. It is the LGPL.
