AMD's most valuable customer, (2) CDDL, which, unlike GPL, allows
proprietary drivers to be included in the kernel, (3) (to a much less
extent) the increasing romance between NB and OOo, we may begin to dream
about the world dominance of Solaris desktops/laptops. Sun's lawyers can
and should play an active role (re point No. 2).

Of course, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try and encourage them to
write open Solaris drivers rather than proprietary drivers. Just because
the CDDL allows this, doesn't mean that we should put up with it ;)
