Joerg,
I shouldn't have responded to the previous message, caught offguard after our
holiday here. We won't solve the Danese Cooper issue here, and Sun is looking
at it. No need to stir things up, Sun is looking into clearing things up.
Often easier said than done, trust me, and I can understand the communitie's
view.
I just happened to be reading newer mail, I'll read more old mail before
anymore comments, my apologees for my, err...I mean Danese's response.<LOL!>
What amuses me most in this whole story is that many people (not only
from Debian devel side) jumping into this new forked cdrkit project:
* Joerg Jaspert, developer / project admin
* Eduard Bloch, developer
* Steve McIntyre, developer
* Peter Samuelson, contributor
* Luis Medinas, Gentoo cdrtools maintainer
* Christian Fromme, contributor
* Motoko Aoyama
You see only 40% of folks from Debian camp.
Ask yourself, what is the motivation for those folks?
Clearly, not just Joerg Schilling personality, as some DPL used to
claim.. It is certainly has a lot to do with GPL incompatibility claim
by FSF as I can see it...
Hope my observation might help to make right decisions.

Erast,
My culling of the noise v. signal of this whole thread, makes
me ponder the following: Your observation above (part of the
"signal" IMHO), plus Casper's (ditto), suggests the following:
Coders who are working (or considering working) in opposition to
CDDL-licensed software might be badly misinformed because it's safe to
assume they would never, in similar fashion, work in opposition to
Apache-licensed software.
Is that a fair synthesis?
Eric
