Sure looks like it, doesn't it? While I believe Jonathan had some truly reovlutionary ideas, like open sourcing Solaris, this is starting to turn into "marketing insanity". I studied the GPL v3 license draft, and it's even worse than the previous version. It is insane. > Thinking about GPLv3.... > > While this may sound nice, it would open the new > problem that > contributors may license new stuff for OpenSolaris > under the > GPLv3 only making it impossible for Sun to include > the stuff > in Sun Solaris. Yes, this may very well turn out to be the case. The GPL v3 license expressly states that, when a product with a different license is bundled with a GPL'd product, the whole MUST be licensed under the GPL. Again: insane. And all of this just for a simple publicity stunt / catering to Linux geeks. Unbelievable.
