Nonetheless she is wrong to characterise the opinion of the Solaris
engineering team in the way she does. She is speaking this way
because she lost an argument inside Sun, not because her view is
representative of the views of Sun or its staff in the way she
claims. She, along with many actual engineers, was an advocate of
using GPL for OpenSolaris but the need to release rather than wait
for one of {GPL v3, Mozilla license revision, encumbrance removal}
meant that this was not possible. I am still furious with her for the
statement she made at DebConf, which was spiteful and an obstacle to
a united FOSS movement.
