Joerg has given the mailing list the impression that there is an on-going war against the CDDL by Debian, and certain Sun employees are willing to change various OpenSolaris-related informational materials (such as the CDDL FAQ) to respond to it. The fact that Debian is anti-CDDL is blatantly false, and mis-represents why Debian has removed cdrecord from their package repositories. If you don't want to be informed about these issues, great -- you shouldn't create pejorative replies, though. It is obvious the creator of this thread thinks that there is a war, started by Debian, against the CDDL.

I can't speak for everybody, but personally I was not discussing nor 
Joerg/cdrecord/Debian. I learned a long time ago to stay out of such 
discussions. I have not read debian-legal, nor do I care to - this issue is not 
one which concerns me, at all.

My responses have been in response to the comments/blog posts made by Danese 
Cooper, and nobody else.

I find it amazing you think that everyone taking part of this discussion is 
involved in the whole Joerg vs. Debian war. It's none of my business, and I am 
staying as far away as I can. I can still have valid views concernig Danese's 
comments, and it does not require debian-legal to have such views.

Please do not add more fuel to the fire, it is already annoying enough as it 
is. You're doing no better than the person you seem to loathe at this point in 
time.

Thanks,
David

Clarrification: "Joerg added conditions to cdrecord that forbids a
user to
change certain lines in the code and then distribute it"

Would you please stop mis-representing the issue to this mailing
list, which
includes various people who are unassociated with Sun, but also
Sun employees
who are willing to modify OpenSolaris-related information to
respsond to this
imaginary "war" you've greated?

I find it amazing that (1) no one in this thread has read the
debian-legal
discussion regarding the removal of cdrecord and the CDDL (2)
Joerg has
failed to mention that he's added conditions to cdrecord that
forbids anyone
to modify the line(s) and distributed the code and (3) the fact
that Joerg
has combined GPL'd and CDDL'd code in cdrecord and expects Debian
to
distribute it.

The *real* reasons why Debian has removed cdrecord are (2) and (3).
