We have a reaction:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/faq/licensing_faq/
License wars are religious and never-ending. Trying to issue a new
'reaction' every time Stallman clears his throat is pointless. We're not
going to convince him (or the GPL Believers) of anything.
In addition, if we're constantly playing defense against GPLers'
accusations, it suggests that we have something to be defensive about. We
don't. We have an Open Source license - full stop. If the GPL doesn't
play well with our Open Source license, that's an issue for the GPLers to
fix.
