There is a big campaign against the CDDL, OpenSolaris and me.

It is initiated by Debian and I hope that Sun goes into public 
and helps to defent against this FUD.

Note that Heise e.g. tries to create the impression that my work on OpenSolaris
was causing the problem! So it is important that people from Sun help me to 
defend against these attacks.

I am really frustrated about this incorrect statement from
Danese Cooper. I did have a long discussion with Andy Tucker 
in September 2004 regarding possible options on OpenSolaris
licensing and I know that Danese is wrong.

Simon Phipps did say the right things and did even play a Video 
with Eben Moglen that verified that what I am doing with cdrtools
(combining CDDL & GPL for mkisofs) is fully accepted by his understanding
of the GPLv2.

Unfortunately, the Debian people did not listen to the truth....
