I submit that the license is not why there are fewer external contributions than we'd like. I think it's because it's an onerous process at the moment, and perhaps because people might be wary of signing a Contributor Agreememnt. If anything, I think people are "afraid" to contribute to non-Sun CDDLed projects is because of FUD spread by the anti-CDDL factions. I remember some assertions that said words to the effect of "ownership of any CDDLed code reverts to Sun", when that is patently not the case. -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.
